If you have an 18% solution, how many milligrams is in each milliliter of solution?

A. 18 mg

B. 180 mg

C. 1.8 mg

D. 1800 mg

B. 180 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer the given problem we need to be aware that:

1000 milligrams = 1 milliliter

The above means that in 1 milliliter a 100% solution means 1000 milligrams. Because we have 18% solution, then:

(1000 milligrams / 1 milliliter) * 18% =

(1000 milligrams / 1 milliliter) * (18/100) =

(1000*18/100) milligrams/milliliter =

180 milligrams/milliliter

In conclusion, the answer is B. 180 mg.
