Answer:
0.03 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
An aerogel meringue weighs 1.17 grams
It is 96% air and 1.3 egg whites.
The rest is sugar.
To find:
How much sugar is in the meringue, rounded to the nearest hundredth?
Solution:
An aerogel meringue weighs = 1.17 grams
Percentage of air = 96%
Percentage of egg whites = 1.3%
Now, to find first of all to find the percentage of sugar, we will add the percentage of air with the percentage of egg whites,
96% + 1.3% = 97.3%
As here given that the remaining percentage is sugar therefore,
100% - 97.3% = 2.7%
Now, to find the quantity of sugar in meringue,
[tex]2.7\% \ of 1.17 gram =\frac{2.7}{100} \times1.17 = \frac{3.159}{100} =0.0315 \ grams[/tex]
Therefore, sugar is 0.03 grams in the meringue.
