The percentage of glucose given is m/v. This means that the given percentage of volume consists of mass.

In this solution, percentage of glucose is 5.5% m/v.

This means that 5.5% of the volume is the mass of glucose.

Given volume is 285 mL.

Therefore mass of glucose is 5.50% of 285 mL = (5.5*285) / 100

mass of glucose = 15.67 g
