Question

2.85 kilograms of sugar is mixed with 3.15 kilograms of flour. What percent of this mixture is sugar?

Answer 1

47.5% of the mixture is sugar.

Explanation:

To find the percent of the mixture that is sugar, we need to first find the total weight of the mixture. We can do this by adding the weight of the sugar to the weight of the flour: 2.85 kg + 3.15 kg = 6.00 kg.

Next, we need to divide the weight of the sugar by the total weight of the mixture and multiply the result by 100% to express the answer as a percentage: (2.85 kg / 6.00 kg) * 100% = 47.5%.

Therefore, 47.5% of the mixture is sugar.
