Answer:
10,800
-1200
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
40 units of maple sap = 1 ounce of maple syrup
Using a 20 - ounce bottle, 2 ounces of air is left
Ounces of actual syrup = (20 - 2) = 18 ounces
Number of maple sap required to fill 15 bottles :
Number of maple saps required to fill 18 ounces bottle :
40 units = 1 ounce
x = 18 ounces
Hence, for 18 ounces of maple syrup :
(40 * 18).= 720 units of maple sap
For 15 bottles of 18 ounces maple syrup:
(720 * 15) = 10,800 units of maple sap
If they had filled each bottle to the top:
(40 * 20 * 15) = 12000 units of maple sap
10,800 - 12000 = - 1200 units of maple sap
