Question

Ms. Maryna has 10 lbs of 25% sugar syrup. How much sugar does she need to add to make 40% sugar syrup?

Answer 1

Answer:

hi! this is Pravaal reddy here! we know that 10 lbs of sugar form 25% of the syrup therefore

$(10 \div x) \times100 = 25$

therefore,

$10 \div x = 25 \div 100$

therefore,

$x = 100 \times 10 \div 25$

therefore the solution is 40lbs.

Answer 2

She needs 6 lbs of sugar to make 40% sugar syrup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of 25% sugar syrup = 10 lbs

We need to find the amount of sugar should be added to make 40% sugar syrup.

According to question,

$\dfrac{10}{0.25}=\dfrac{x}{0.4}\\\x=\dfrac{4}{0.25}\\\\x=16\ lbs$

Hence, She need 16-10= 6 lbs of sugar to make 40% sugar syrup.
