Pls help with full solution

Answer 1

Answer:

hey mate

Ans-260

step wise answer is below :::

60% sugar means 60 parts of sugar to 40 parts of water.

Since we have 200 g of water, we would need 300 g of sugar.

We already have 40 g, so we need to add 260 g more.

Or, in a more analytical way:

(40 + x)/(200 + 40 + x) = 0.6

40 + x = 144 + 0.6x

0.4x = 104

x = 260

Answer 2

Answer:

400 ( 40/100) + x =( 400+x )(60/100)

400 (0.4) + x = (400+ x) (0.6)

160 + x = 240 + 0.6 x

Hence x = 200 g
