Answer:
Abdullah is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottle contained originally 12 fl oz, so 12 fl oz is 100%.
The box now contains 20% more, so now it contains 120% of 12 fl oz.
120% * 12 fl oz = 1.2 * 12 fl oz = 14.4 fl oz
Also, 20% is 1/5. Abdullah divided 12 oz into 5 equal parts, and then he added one more 1/5. He interpreted the problem correctly. The amount in the new bottle is the amount of the old bottle plus 20% of that old amount.
Kanna considers the original amount to be 80%. When he adds another 20%, he is adding 1/4 of 12 which is too much. That is why he gets an incorrect answer that is to high. He interpreted the problem incorrectly. For him, the old bottle has 20% less than the new bottle. That is incorrect.
Abdullah is correct.
