Question

WILL GIVE 5 STARS TO THE PERSON WHO HELPS WITH AN EXPLANATION!!! If the 32 ounce bottle is 20% more than the typical bottle, how many ounces are in the typical bottle? Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

So if 32 oz is 20% more than the average bottle, you multiply 32 by .20 which gives you 6.4. This means that the 32 oz bottle is 6.4 oz more than the regular bottle. Furthermore, 32 - 6.4 = 25.6 so that's how big the typical bottle is.
