✓ Answer: A 13.04%
To find the mass by mass percentage of the solution, use the formula: Mass percentage = (Mass of solute / Mass of solution) x 100. Mass of solute (salt) = 48 g; Mass of solvent (water) = 320 g; Mass of solution = Mass of solute + Mass of solvent = 368 g. Mass percentage = (48/368) x 100 ≈ 13.04%.
