What percentage of salt is in a solution if 300 grams of solution contains 225 grams of water?

To solve this problem, remember, in order to find how many percent one number is from another, you need to find the quotient of these numbers, and then translate it into percentages (for this, multiply the resulting number by 100%). Let’s calculate how many grams of salt are in the solution.

300 – 225 = 75 grams.

Let’s calculate how many percent of the salt is in the solution.

75/300 * 100 = 0.25 * 100 = 25%.

Answer: 25%.
