Answer: Use the formula x = (c ÷ V) × 100 to convert the concentration (c) and volume (V) of the final solution to a percentage. In the example, c = 60 ml and V = 350 ml.

Explanation: Divide the mass of the solute by the total volume of the solution. Write out the equation C = m/V, where m is the mass of the solute and V is the total volume of the solution. Plug in the values you found for the mass and volume, and divide them to find the concentration of your solution.
