Question

There are 32 ounces of water in a glass someone drinks 55% how many ounces are left?

Answer 1

14.4 Oz

Explanation:

First you start with the equation:

0.55 x 32 = x

0.55 is 55% in decimal form because it is 55 out of 100

0.55 x 32 = 17.6 (BUT THAT IS NOT THE ANSWER)

the 17.6 is the amount the person drank so you now subtract that

so:

32 - 17.6 = 14.4

Answer 2

-22

Step-by-step explanation: If you subtract 32-55, you get degative 22.
