HELP!!!!!:

What is the percentage… of sugar in the syrup made of 10 kg of water and 4 kg of sugar?

Answer 1

To find the percentage of sugar in the syrup, add the masses of sugar and water together and divide the mass of sugar by the total mass of the solution, then multiply by 100 to get the percentage.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of sugar in the syrup, you need to calculate the mass of sugar and water in the solution. In this case, the syrup is made of 10 kg of water and 4 kg of sugar.

First, add the masses of sugar and water together: 10 kg + 4 kg = 14 kg

Now, calculate the percentage of sugar in the solution: (4 kg / 14 kg) * 100% = 28.57%

Answer 2

There are a total of 10 + 4 = 14 kg of syrup.

4 out of the 14 kg are sugar so the percentage is:

4/14 = 28.6%

Edit: The answer is correct. I don’t know why it was flagged as incorrect.

The total amount of ingredients in the syrup is 14 kg. Of the 14 kg, 4 kg is composed of sugar. So, 4 kg of sugar divided by the 14 kg of total weight will give you the percentage of sugar.

4/14 = 0.285714285714286

With an additional significant figure, the answer is 28.57%
