Sugar = 1% = 12

Whole = 100% = 12·100 = 1200

Water = 99% = 1200 - 12 = 1188

You Need 1188 Grams Of Water To Make The Solution 1% Sugar

Answer 2

1188 grams

Explanation:

You want the 12g of sugar to be 1% of the whole solution.

So, say you add grams of water. The solution will be composed of 12 grams of sugar and grams of water, for a total of grams.

So, the ratio "sugar/total" will be

and we want this ratio to be 1%, i.e. 1/100:

Multiply both sides by 100 and to get

Subtract 12 from both sides:

So, a solution composed of 1188 grams of water and 12 grams of sugar will be 99% water and 1% sugar.
