One fourth of a solution that was 14% salt by weight was replaced by a second solution resulting in a solution that was 16 percent sugar by weight. The second solution was what percent salt by weight?  Choose one:
A) 24%
B) 34%
C) 22%
D) 18%
E) 8.5%
consider total solution to be 100 liters and in this case you'll have: 75*0.14+25*x=100*0.16 --&gt; x=0.22.   Answer: 22%.
