Answer 2

Alright, lets get started.

The quantity of the shampoo Jill always buys = 11.5 ounce

She is at the store buying more and sees that the bottle is now bigger and has 20% more for the same price.

Means we could find the extra shampoo she is getting by :

$\frac{20}{100} * 11.5$

$0.2 * 11.5 = 2.3$ ounce

Means she is getting total shampoo in her new bottle = $11.5 + 2.3$

Means she is getting total shampoo in her new bottle = 13.8 ounce : Answer

Hope it will help :)
