Question

How much water do you add to make 12% suger syrup using 5 grams of sugar?

Answer 1

so the syrup is just water and sugar, we know that the sugar percent is just 12%, and that happens to be 5grams.

now 100% - 12% is 88%, so the 88% leftover will just be water.

if 12% is 5g, how much is 88%?
