I add sugar by weight. It seems easier and is less messy than trying to measure volume. But the math is the same whether by weight or volume.
If I want to add sugar at 130% by volume and have 8 fluid ounces (1 cup) of base, here's the math --
Sugar = 130 / 100 X 8 fl oz = 10.4 fluid ounces
If I have 80 grams of base and want to add 130 % sugar by weight --
Sugar = 130 / 100 X 80 grams = 104 grams
Divide the percentage (130 in this example) by 100 and multiply that answer by the amount of base.
