Answer:

28%

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of soda in a can is 344 grams

The soda contains 95 grams of sugar

We need to find the percentage of sugar in the can of soda. It can be calculated as follows :


S\%=\frac{\text{weight of sugar}}{\text{total weight of can}}* 100\\\\S\%=(95)/(344)* 100\\\\S\%=0.276* 100\\\\S\%=27.6\%

or

S%=28%

Hence, the can of soda contains 28% of sugar.
