Solution

The correct option is A 9.09
Mass percentage is used to measure the concentration of a solution. A solution contains solute and solvent.

Mass percentage of a solution =Mass of the soluteMass of the solution×100

Given, mass of salt (solute) = 10 g
mass of water (solvent) = 100 g
The total amount of solution = 10 + 100 = 110 g

Mass percentage of a solution
= 10110×100=9.09%
