Answer :
Answer:
so the syrup is just water and sugar, we know that the sugar percent is just 12%, and that happens to be 5grams.
now 100% - 12% is 88%, so the 88% leftover will just be water.
if 12% is 5g, how much is 88%?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
You know that 5 g of sugar form 12%. Let x g be the amount of water needed. The total amount of syrup will be x+5 g. Then
5 g - 12%,
x+5 g - 100%.
mathematically you can write a proportion;
5/x+5=12/100
=>500=12(x+5)
,500=12x+60
,12x=400,
x=440/12
=110/3
