A close comparison of the 20% solution to the 45% solution shows that the 20% solution is actually less than 50% of the 45% solution.
- Arithmetically, you discover that the 20% solution is 25% or 0.25 (45% - 20%) less than the 45% solution.
- Comparatively, you can compute that the 20% solution actually represents 44.4% or 0.444 of the 45% solution (20% x 45%).
- The same result can be obtained by first dividing 20% by 45% and then multiplying the resulting dividend by 100.
Thus, the result of the comparison shows that there is more sugar in the 45% solution than there is in the 20% sugar solution.
