Question

700 gram of sugar solution has 60% of sugar how much sugar should be added in solution to make this solution of 80% of sugar

Answer 1

Answer:

933.33 (approx.)

Explanation:

sugar in 80%solution = (700×80)/60

=933.33 (approx.)

Answer 2

The necessary amount of sugar that we have to add is 140 grams.

Given data :

Total mass of the solution is 700 grams.

Percentage of the sugar in initial stage is 60%.

• Now,we have to calculate the amount of sugar present in the initial solution :

= 700×60/100

= 420 grams

• Now,we have to calculate the amount of sugar if the sugar percentage is 80% :

= 700× 80/100

= 560 grams

• Now,the amount of sugar needed :

= Sugar needed to make 80% sugar - Sugar present in the initial solution

= 560-420

= 140 grams

So,we need to add 140 grams of sugar in that solution. (Answer)
