Question

20% of the total solution is salt which is 2000g. If 30% of the total solution is sugar and the rest is water. Find a) Mass of sugar b) Mass of salt c) Mass of water and) Mass Percentage of each component

Answer 1

Answer: 50%=water, 20%=salt, 30%=sugar

mass of sugar=3,000 grams

Mass of salt=2,000 grams

mass of water=5,000 grams

Explanation:

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. Mass of Salt in Solution =

$\frac{20}{100} \times 2000$

= 400g

2. Mass of Sugar in Solution =

$\frac{30}{100} \times 2000$

= 600g

3. Mass of Water in Solution = 2000 - (400+600) = 1000g

4. Mass % of Salt = 20%

Mass % of Sugar = 30%

Mass % of Water = 100 - (20+30) = 50%
