the hypertonic solution outside of the cell has greater solute compared to the solution inside of the cell.

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute than the solution inside the cell. This causes water to leave the cell, resulting in shrinkage or crenation. Therefore, the external solute concentration significantly surpasses that of the cytoplasm inside the cell.
