Respuesta :

Explanation:

Sue added salt to water in order to make a salt solution

the original amount of water is 400 grams

In order for Sue to obtain 405 grams of salt solution using 400 grams of water, 5 grams of salt must be added.

Answer: (D) 5 grams

Explanation: the reason I would chose this is because if you do the simple math of 405-400 you get 5 so if he has 400 in the beginning he would have to add something to make it 405 grams and that something would have to be 5 grams of salt. hoped this helped no need for brainiest just happy to help.:)

and please tell me if I am wrong.
