Maple syrup is made from the sap of a maple tree. Whe the sap is tapped from the tree it is 4.0% by mass sucrose. Maple syrup is 66% by mass sucrose. What mass of sap would be needed for make 1 kg of syrup

Can you actually write this out? It makes it much more difficult to read when it gets written out this way.
Here we are required to find the mass of sap that would be needed for making 1kg of syrup
Here mass of maple syrup =1 kg
% of sucrose in the syrup= 66%
We define w/w% as the mass of solute present in 100 gm of solution
So
w/w% =mass of solute ×100mass of solutionw/w of sucrose% =mass of sucrose ×100mass of maple syrup66= mass of sucrose ×1001kgmass of sucrose =66 ×1kg100=0.66kg so in 1kg of maple syrup 0.66 kg of sucrose is presentgiven in maple sap 4% sucrose present we need to find the mass of sap which contain 0.66 kg of sucrosew/w of sucrose% =mass of sucrose ×100mass of maple sap4=0.66kg ×100mass of maple sapmass of maple sap =0.66kg ×1004=16.5 kg
