The percent by volume of the drink mix in the solution is 16.67%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used to determine the percentage by volume of the solute present in the solution is by finding the ratio of the volume of solute to the total volume of the solution multiplied by 100.


Percentage by volume = (Volume of solute)/(Total volume of solution) * 100

As in the present case, the solute is the drink mix and its volume is given as 10 mL. And the solution is the water. So the total volume of water is 60 mL.

Then the percentage by volume of the drink mix in the solution will be


Percentage by volume = (10)/(60) * 100 =20

So, the percent by volume of the drink mix in the solution is 16.67%.
