I'm in college, I honestly don't know what it is but I hope you find it!
C. 20% because 15 goes into 75 5 times, and to find the percentage you would divide 100 by that number, 5, to get 20. So he has gone 20%
The degree of the polynomial will tell you the max amount of zeros you will have. 11 in this case.
However you can also have 9,7,5,3,1 (keep subtracting by 2)
So the answer is 1.
Let x be the first jug, y the second jug.
From first statement, subtracting 1 from x, makes them equal:
x - 1 = y
From second statement, subtracting 2 from y, makes it half of x:
x/2 = y-2
Solve system with substitution:
x/2 = (x-1) -2
x/2 = x - 3
x- x/2 = 3
x/2 = 3
x = 6
y = x-1 = 6-1 = 5
Therefore the largest jug contains 6 liters.
