Let us assume total capacity of the container = x pounds.
Container contains 1/6th coffee of total x pounds, that is x/6 pounds.
We also given that 1/6th part is equal to 2/3 of a pound.
So, we could setup an equation now.
x/6 pounds equals 2/3 of a pound.
Dividing both sides by 1/6, we get
÷ 
= 
÷.
Therefore, x = ÷
Division expression that represents the capacity of the container = 2/3 ÷ 1/6.

All we can determine from the information that you have given us is that
yz should be proportionally related to bc, because their triangles are similar.
Answer: A. divided the difference of the two quantities by the sum of the two quantities.
===================================================
Explanation:
The difference of the quantities is 20-15 = 5
The sum of the quantities is 20+15 = 35
Dividing those results leads to 5/35 = 0.142857 which rounds to 0.1429
That converts to 14.29%
This is likely the path Adam took. This path is incorrect. The correct steps are shown below
---------------------
Difference = 20-15 = 5
Divide the difference over the original quantity
5/20 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25%
We have a 25% decrease because the new quantity (15) is smaller than the old quantity (20)
----------------------
Here's another way to approach the problem
A = old value = 20
B = new value = 15
C = percent change
C = [ (B-A)/A ] * 100%
C = [ (15-20)/20 ] * 100%
C = (-5/20)*100%
C = -0.25*100%
C = -25%
The negative C value means we have a negative percent change, ie we have a percent decrease. So this is another way to get a 25% decrease.
