A container was found in the home of the victim that contained 120gof ethylene glycol in 450gof liquid. Determine what was the percentage of ethylene glycol.

To determine a percentage, divide into the parts by the total and multiply by 100%.
P=PartWhole×100=120450×100=0.2667×100=26.67%≈27%

So, approximately 27%ethylene glycol was in the 450gof liquid.
