Answer 1

Answer:

Orange juice has a greater percent of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

An 80-ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water. A 64-ounce bottle of orange juice has 48 ounces of water.

Now, to find in which juice greater percent of water is there.

An 80-ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water.

Total ounces of juice = 80.

Total ounces of water = 32.

So, to get the percent of water:

$\frac{32}{80}\times 100$

$=0.4\times 100$

$=40\%.$

Now,

A 64-ounce bottle of orange juice has 48 ounces of water.

Total ounces of juice = 64.

Total ounces of water = 48.

So, to get the percent of water in bottle of orange juice:

$\frac{48}{64} \times 100$

$=0.75\times 100$

$=75\%.$

Thus, in bottle of orange juice contains 75% of water and in bottle of apple juice contains 40% of water.

Therefore, orange juice has a greater percent of water.
