To find the resulting amount of salt solution, we need to consider the total mass and the concentration of the solution after mixing.

Given:

- 100 kilograms of water

- 10 kilograms of salt

The total mass of the resulting solution is the sum of the water and salt masses:

Total mass = 100 kg (water) + 10 kg (salt) = 110 kg

To calculate the percentage of salt in the solution, we divide the mass of the salt by the total mass and multiply by 100:

Percentage of salt = (10 kg / 110 kg) * 100 = 9.09%

Therefore, Hugh made 110 kilograms of a 9.09% salt solution.
