What percentage of the sweet is syrup?
%​

Answer 1

Answer:

percentage of syrup in sweet = 13/(13+7) × 100 = 13/20 × 100 = 65%

percentage of sugar in sweet = 2/5 of 65% = 2/5 × 65 = 26%

fraction of sweet in syrup = 2/(2+3) = 2/5

Answer 2

Solution :-

→ Flour : Syrup = 7 : 13

so,

• Flour in sweet = (7/20)
• Syrup in sweet = (13/20)

therefore, (13/20) fraction of the sweet is syrup.

also,

→ % of sweet is syrup = (13 * 100) / 20 = 65%

Hence, 65% of the sweet is syrup.

also,

→ In syrup , sugar : water = 2 : 3

so,

• sugar = (2/5)
• water = (3/5)

then,

→ The % of sugar in the sweet = (2/5) of syrup = (2/5) of 65% = (2/5) * 65 = 26%

Hence, the percentage of sugar in the sweet is 26% .
