Answer 1

Answer:

The regular bottle holds 9 fluid ounces less than the family size bottle.

Explanation:

The family size bottle of sunscreen holds 12 fluid ounces

The regular bottle holds 75 percent less

75 percent of 12 = (75/100) X 12 =0.75 X 12 =9

Since the regular bottle holds 75% less, it holds 9 fluid ounces fewer fluid than the family size bottle of sunscreen.

NOTE: The regular size holds three(3) fluid ounces of sunscreen.
