5g of salt are dissolved in 200g of water,what mass of solution is this?
Looks like 205g to me.

To find the mass of the solution, you need to add the mass of the solute (salt) to the mass of the solvent (water).
Given:
Mass of salt (solute) = 5g
Mass of water (solvent) = 200g
To find the mass of the solution, you add the mass of the solute and the mass of the solvent:
Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent
Mass of solution = 5g + 200g
Mass of solution = 205g
Therefore, the mass of the solution is 205 grams.
