Question

90g of sugar will make how much 15% syrup?

Answer 1

Answer:

As per the statement:

90 g of sugar will make 15% of x syrup

i,e

$90 g = 15 \%\times x$

Solve for x:

$90 = \frac{15}{100}x$

Multiply both sides by 100 we get;

$9000 = 15x$

Divide both sides by 15 we have;

$600 = x$

or

x = 600g

Therefore, 90 g of sugar will make 15% syrup is 600g

Answer 2

Answer: 600 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount of sugar syrup made by 15% sugar syrup using 90g sugar.

Also, 15% =0.15

Thus 15% sugar syrup =15% of x = 0.15x

According to the question, we have  

$0.15x=90\\\\\text{Divide 0.15 on the both sides we get}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{90}{0.15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{9000}{15}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=600$

Hence, 600 grams sugar syrup is made by 15% sugar syrup of 90g sugar.
