Answer

3.85% is the final answer.

Steps

Step 1 :The concentration in %m/m (mass/mass) is calculated by the formula:

Step 2 :The mass of the solute (sugar) is 4.00 g and the mass of the solution is the sum of the mass of the solute and the solvent (water), which is 4.00 g + 100 g = 104 g.

Step 3 :So, the concentration in %m/m is:

Step 4 :3.85% is the final answer.
