Let's get the denominators of both fractions to be the same before moving on, aka finding the least common multiple of the denominators.

8 and 3 have a LCM of 24. So, we have to multiply 1/3 by 8 and 3/8 by 3.

1/3 * 8/8 = 8/24

3/8 * 3/3 = 9/24

There is only 1/24 of juice left in the bottle if the remaining amount of juice has 1/3 poured out.

Hope that helped.

$\frac{15}{18} = \frac{x}{100}$
Cross multiply both...
$1500=18x$
divide each side by 18 to make the x by itself
Which gives you x=83.333%
