Question
how many grams of sugar would be needed to give a 50.00 mL solution of FD&C Red Dye a concentration of 6.0% sugar?

Is this % w/w or % w/v? I'll assume % w/v
% w/v = (grams solute/50 mL)*100
Solve for grams.
% w/v = (grams solute/50 mL)*100
Solve for grams.

I'm going to assume that this is mass/volume percent:
m/v%=(g/mL)*100
6.0%=(x g/50mL)*100
(6.0/100)*50=x g
Solve for x g
Which should be 3g, I believe.
m/v%=(g/mL)*100
