The concentration of sugar in a soft drink is measured to be 10.5%. how many grams of sugar are in 125 g of the drink?

The grams of the sugar in 125 g of the drink is calculated as below

%M/m) = mass of the solute (sugar) / mass of the solvent (drink) x100

let the mass of the solute (sugar) be represented by y

convert % into fraction by dividing by 100 = 10.5/100

10.5/100 = y/125

by cross multiplication

100y = 1312.5

divide both side by 100

y=13.125 grams
