(B) Let the total quantity of sugar be $x 	ext{ kg}$.After selling $5 \%$ of the sugar,the remaining quantity is $(100 \% - 5 \%) = 95 \%$ of the total quantity.Given that the remaining quantity is $5 	ext{ kg}$.Therefore,$95 \% 	ext{ of } x = 5 	ext{ kg}$.$\frac{95}{100} 	imes x = 5$.$x = \frac{5 	imes 100}{95}$.$x = \frac{500}{95} = \frac{100}{19} 	ext{ kg}$.Converting this to a mixed fraction,we get $5 \frac{5}{19} 	ext{ kg}$.

After selling $5 \%$ of a quantity of sugar,$5 \text{ kg}$ of sugar remains. Find the total quantity of sugar in $\text{kg}$.
