150g of sugar was used to make a bottle of 8% syrup. How much water was used to make this bottle of syrup? How much syrup is there in this bottle?

To find out how much water was used to make the bottle of syrup, we need to determine the total weight of the syrup. Since the syrup has a concentration of 8%, it means that 8% of the total weight is sugar.

Let's assume the total weight of the syrup is "x" grams. Therefore, 8% of x grams is equal to 150 grams of sugar. We can set up an equation to solve for x:

8% of x = 150 grams

To express 8% as a decimal, we divide it by 100: 8 ÷ 100 = 0.08

0.08x = 150 grams

Now, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.08:

x = 150 grams ÷ 0.08

x = 1875 grams

So, the total weight of the syrup is 1875 grams.

To determine how much water was used to make the syrup, we subtract the weight of sugar from the total weight. Therefore:

Weight of water = Total weight - Weight of sugar
Weight of water = 1875 grams - 150 grams
Weight of water = 1725 grams

Hence, 1725 grams of water were used to make the bottle of syrup.

Now, to find out how much syrup is in the bottle, we subtract the weight of water from the total weight of the syrup:

Weight of syrup = Total weight - Weight of water
Weight of syrup = 1875 grams - 1725 grams
Weight of syrup = 150 grams

Therefore, there is 150 grams of syrup in the bottle.

150g of sugar was used to make a bottle of 8% syrup. How much water was used to make this bottle of syrup? How much syrup is there in this bottle?
