Question

A bottle of a​ cranberry-apple juice cocktail is 95 ​% juice. how many ounces of juice are in a 76 oz bottle of the juice​ cocktail?

Answer 1

95% = 95/100
95/100 of 76/1. (Always remember that every whole number is over 1)
So now we have 95/100 of 76/1
We can't solve with "of"
So we'll have to change it to "times(x)".....when we do that, it would cause 76/1 to reciprocate to 1/76
So now we have this: 95/100 x 1/76
When we solve it this is what we'll get: 19/20 x 1/76 = 19/1520 = 1/80

Answer 2

the answer will be less than 76 oz of juice because you only have 95% juice content.  You have to multiply 95% times 76 oz to get your answer.  The 95% needs to be changed to decimal form to be able to multiply and get your answer. 

95% is the same as 95/100 which equals 0.95 in fraction form.

Multiply the 0.95 times the 76 oz and you will get 72.2 oz of juice.
