Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solute/Solution = 4/100 = 0.04 X 100 = 4%.
The equation strength = solute/solution can be used to determine the percent.This would be solved by inputting 4 parts/100 parts,and then divide 100 into 4 = 0.04.Then,move the decimal point 2 places to the right to determine the percent as being 4 or 4%.
