Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Let x be the mass of the solution. 
The mass of the solute is 15.6% of x or 0.156x. 
We can set up the equation as: 
0.156x = 11ea7e7c_6140_c2c9_9a0a_cfc333591fd3_TB1194_11 
Solving for x gives us: 
x = 11ea7e7c_6140_c2c9_9a0a_cfc333591fd3_TB1194_11 / 0.156 
x = 1770 
Therefore, the mass of the solution is 1770 grams or 1.770 kilograms. 
The answer is C.
