Question

you have 125 grams of a certain season and are told that it contains 40 grams of salt what is the percentage of salt by mass and the seasoning?

Answer 1

Season = 125 g
Salt = 40g
% Salt: = 40 / 125 * 100%. (25 into 125 is 5, and into 100 is 4)
(5 into 40 is 8)
= 4 * 8
= 32%

Answer 2

`(40g.of.salt)/(125g.of.seasoning)= (40)/(125) =0.32 =` 32%
