Brix measures total dissolved solids while Total sugar is only a measure of sugar content. Higher sugar content will raise the brix measurement, but higher brix measurement does not always mean there is a higher sugar content.
Brix is a measurement of the mass ratio of dissolved sugar to water often shown as °Bx. It is a way of finding out the sweetness of fruit by measuring the natural sugars.

The hydrometer measures specific gravity, which is a unit-less quantity that expresses the ratio of a liquid's density to the density of water. For example, if a liquid as an SG of 1.000, it has the same density as water. An SG of 1.100 indicates that a liquid is ten percent denser than water. One with an SG of 1.010 is just one percent denser. On some hydrometers there are other scales whose units are in degrees Brix, degrees Balling, or Plato. But those units are used specifically to measure sugar content in juices, wine, and beer. If you're curious about that, Wikipedia has a few articles to check out.

level of sugar to level of acidity
It is the percent of sugar solids in the product being measured. A 25 °Bx solution is 25% (s/w), with 25 grams of http://www.answers.com/topic/sugar per 100 grams of solution. Or, to put it another way, there are 25 grams of sucrose sugar and 75 grams of water in the 100 grams of solution.
To make real slush you need a concentrate which is 12 brix. This is the optimum sugar level to prevent the water from freezing into solid ice. The mixture should be agitated while it freezes. The brix can be measured with a refractometer.
Brix measures total dissolved solids while Total sugar is only a measure of sugar content. Higher sugar content will raise the brix measurement, but higher brix measurement does not always mean there is a higher sugar content.
80 Brix = 1.4147
Find a Brix chart on the Internet. Find 55 Brix on the chart. The chart will supply you with the amount of sugar (under the solids column) and water to make a 55 Brix syrup. Add the sugar and water together and heat to dissolve the sugar.
You can use a Brix refractrometer to measure the percent of sugar in aqueous solutions. The Brix refractrometer is an optical instrument that employs the measurement of refractive index of the sample and converts it to % Brix concentration units. One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the degree Brix approximates the dissolved solid content. This test is traditionally used in the wine, sugar, carbonated beverage, fruit juice, and honey industries.
You don't want to go any higher than 65 brix because if you do there is not enough water left to keep the juice solids in solution and they will start to precipitate out. In addition to that, the juice concentrate would become extremely viscous which would make it very hard to work with.
Since degrees Brix is equal to percent sugar (or sucrose), find the Brix value of a drink containing 23 grams of sugar, divide 23 by the number of total grams of liquid contained in the drink, then multiply by 100 to get the percent (or Brix value).
250 degrees is ? gram
I believe you divide by the sugar solids. Find a Brix chart on the internet and look up 68 brix and 11 brix. Use the solids column to do the calculations. 68 Brix solids / 11 Brix solids = factor. One gallon (128 fl.ozs. / factor = fluid ounces of concentrate needed and the rest is water to make 1 gallon or 128 fluid ounces.
