Question

90g of sugar will make how much 15% syrup?

Answer 1

Answer: 600 grams.

Explanation:

Let x be the amount of sugar syrup made by 15% sugar syrup using 90g sugar.

Also, 15% =0.15

Thus 15% sugar syrup =15% of x = 0.15x

According to the question, we have

`0.15x=90\\\\\text{Divide 0.15 on the both sides we get}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(90)/(0.15)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(9000)/(15)\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=600`

Hence, 600 grams sugar syrup is made by 15% sugar syrup of 90g sugar.

Answer 2

As per the statement:

90 g of sugar will make 15% of x syrup

i,e

`90 g = 15 \%* x`

Solve for x:

`90 = (15)/(100)x`

Multiply both sides by 100 we get;

`9000 = 15x`

Divide both sides by 15 we have;

`600 = x`

or

x = 600g

Therefore, 90 g of sugar will make 15% syrup is 600g
