Question

How much sugar syrup can you make if you make:
30% sugar syrup using 75g of sugar

Answer 1

To determine how much 30% sugar syrup you can make using 75 grams of sugar, follow these steps:

1. **Understand the concentration**: A 30% sugar syrup by weight means that 30% of the total weight of the syrup is sugar.

2. **Set up the equation**:
\[
\text{Total weight of syrup} \times 0.30 = 75 \, \text{g (weight of sugar)}
\]

3. **Solve for the total weight of syrup** (let's call it \( T \)):
\[
T \times 0.30 = 75 \, \text{g}
\]
\[
T = \frac{75 \, \text{g}}{0.30}
\]
\[
T = 250 \, \text{g}
\]

So, you can make 250 grams of 30% sugar syrup using 75 grams of sugar.
