Answer:
Percentage of sugar = 28.6 (rounding to the next tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:
Syrup recipe : 10 kg of water and 4 kg of sugar
2. What is the percentage of sugar in the syrup?
Total weight of the syrup recipe = weight of water + weight of sugar
Total weight of the syrup recipe = 10 + 4
Total weight of the syrup recipe = 14
Percentage of sugar = Weight of sugar/Total weight of the syrup recipe * 100
Percentage of sugar = 4/14 * 100
Percentage of sugar = 28.6 (rounding to the next tenth)
