To obtain 6% table vinegar, 70% vinegar essence is diluted with water. How many grams of vinegar essence do you need to take to get 200g of table vinegar?

Let’s make a proportion for table vinegar:

100 g – 6 g of vinegar;

200 g – x vinegar.

x = 200 * 6/100;

x = 12 g.

12 g of vinegar is contained in 200 g of table vinegar.

Let’s make the proportion for the vinegar essence:

100 g – 70 g vinegar;

x g – 12 g of vinegar.

x = 100 * 12/70;

x = 17.14 g.

17.14 g of vinegar essence must be taken.
