In order to calculate the percentage of a substance (sucrose this time) in a sample of known mass, the mass of the substance needs to be determined first.

The mass of a substance can be determined from its number of moles and molar mass, such that:

    mass = mole x molar mass

Once the mass of the substance is determined, the percentage of the substance in 20.0 g sample can be calculated as:

Percentage of substance = mass of substance/mass of sample x 100

Hence, assuming that the mass of sucrose is x g:

percentage of sucrose in the sample =  x/20 X 100

                                                   = 5x %
