The solution contains 18% salt. How many grams of salt are there in 340 g of this solution?

In order to find how much salt will contain 340 grams of saline solution, we will compose and decide the proportion.

But first, let’s see what we know from the problem statement. It says the solution contains 18% salt. Well, it is also known that the solution itself has a weight of 340 grams.

And we will start by taking the weight of the entire solution as 100%, and denote the weight of the salt in it as x gram.

340 grams of solution – 100%;

x gram of salt – 18%;

340 / x = 100/18;

x = (340 * 18) / 100 = 6120/100 = 61.2 grams of salt is contained in 340 grams of solution.
