9.6% w/v = 9.6 g sugar/100 mL solution.
g sugar in the can is 9.6 x (355/100) = approx 34 g (but you should do it more accurately). What does that 1 tsp = 4g mean? 4g of what? 4g of the fluid? 4 g of sugar? the mass of the teaspoon? I will assume the mass sugar in 1 teaspoon is 4 grams sugar.
# tsp sugar x (4 g sugar/tsp) = 34.
Solve for # tsp sugar. I may have interpreted the problem wrong; if so please give me the proper information.
