Answer 1

Answer:

The regular bottle holds 9 fl oz less

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Family Size =  12 fl oz

Required

Determine the size held less by the regular bottle

From the question, we have that the regular bottle holds 75% less;

$Regular\ Size = 75\% * Family\ Size$

Substitute 12 fl oz for Family Size

$Regular\ Size =75\% * 12\ fl\ oz$

Convert percentage to fraction

$Regular\ Size = \frac{75}{100} * 12\ fl \oz$

$Regular\ Size = \frac{75 * 12\ fl\ oz}{100}$

$Regular\ Size = \frac{900\ fl\ oz}{100}$

$Regular\ Size = 9\ fl\ oz$

Hence, the regular bottle holds 9 fl oz less
