What is the percentage of sugar in the syrup made of 10 kg of water and 4 kg of sugar?

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)
