If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.
Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:
12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24
It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)

Using the percentage concept, it is found that 60% of the students voted to donate a telescope.
<h3>What is a percentage?</h3>
The percentage of an amount a over a total amount b is given by a multiplied by 100% and divided by b, that is:
In this problem:
- The total amount is the number of students, which is of b = 500.
- 300 voted to donate, hence a = 300.
The <em>percentage </em>is given by:
60% of the students voted to donate a telescope.
