Mupirocin Concentration Calculations

This set covers weight-to-weight percentage calculations for mupirocin and the determination of differences between two concentration levels.

What does a 2\text{% }w/w concentration of mupirocin represent based on the provided calculations?

It means there are $2\text{ gms}$ of mupirocin in every $100\text{ gms}$ of the preparation.

How much mupirocin is present in $22\text{ gms}$ of a 2\text{% }w/w preparation?

$$0.44\text{ gms}$$

Based on Step 2 of the notes, how many grams of mupirocin are contained in $22\text{ gms}$ of a $2.25/100\text{ gms}$ preparation?

$$0.495\text{ gms}$$

What is the calculated difference between the two mupirocin weight values ($0.495\text{ gms}$ and $0.44\text{ gms}$) to be added?

$$0.055\text{ gms}$$
