Answer 1

If you add 10 grams of sugar into 30 grams of 20% sugar syrup, you will make 40 grams of 40% sugar syrup.

Answer 2

40 grams of 40% sugar syrup

Explanation:

It is 40g because you are adding 10g of sugar to 30g of syrup

It is 40 % syrup because you start out with 20% sugar in 30 g. That means the 1/5 of the syrup is sugar. That means that 6g is sugar. Then you add ten more grams of sugar. Now you have 16g of sugar in 40 grams of syrup.

Make equation to find percent

16/40=x/100

x=40
