#"Mass %"="Mass of solute"/"Mass of solution"xx100%#

Explanation:

And from the initial solutions, we have to first extract the mass of solute, and then divide this by the combined mass of solutions. And thus we go thru the arithmetic:

#(6.25%xx225.0*g+8.20%xx135.0*g)/(225.0*g+135.0*g)xx100%#

#~=7.0%#
