(3) How many grams of milk-sugar are there in

 milk, etc., when the weight of the milk, etc., and the 

 weight of the constituent are known, multiply the 

 weight of the constituent by 100 and divide the result 

 by the weight of the milk, etc. Example: What is 

 the per cent, of fat in 675 pounds of milk containing 

 31.05 pounds of fat? 31 '^ IO = 4.6 per cent. 



EXAMPLES FOR PRACTICE 



(1) What is the per cent, of fat in 120 pounds of
