Solution:

Given that, Sara making punch for her party her punch bowl holds 600 ounces for 80 servings of punch

To find: Ounces of punch in each serving

From given,

Number of servings = 80

Ounces in bowl = 600 ounces

Then, Ounces of punch in each serving is found by dividing the ounces in bowl by number of servings

The formula used is:

$\text{ Ounces of punch in each serving } = \frac{\text{Ounces in bowl}}{\text{Number of servings}}$

Substituting the values we get,

$\text{ Ounces of punch in each serving } = \frac{600}{80}\\\\\text{ Ounces of punch in each serving } = 7.5$
