Answer 1

Answer:

The usual size of the container is 15 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A protein mix claims to contain a bonus of 20% more mix than the usual size container.

Let the usual size of the container was x ounces.

They increase 20% of usual size and the bonus size is 18 ounces.

Therefore, the new size should be:

$x+20\%x=18$

$x(1+0.20)=18$ (∴20%=$\frac{20}{100}$=0.20)

$x(1.20)=18$

$x=\frac{18}{1.20}$

$x=15$

Hence, the usual size of the container is 15 ounces.
