Maria has added 2 liters of pure water to 8 liters of a 48% sugar syrup. What is the concentration of the resulting solution?
Question
Answer:
we know that2 liters of pure water = 0 % of sugar
8 liters of syrup = 48% of sugar
Water = (2 liters x 0%) = 0 total sugar liters
Syrup = (8 liters x 48%) = 3.84 total sugar liters
Total liter mix =8+2-----> 10 liters
Total liters of sugar = 0 + 3.84 = 3.84
if 10 liters-----------> 100%
3.84 liters--------> x
X=3.84*100/10-----> x=38.4%
the answer is
38.4%
