Question

An 80 ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water a 64 ounce bottle of orange juice has 48 ounces of water which juice has a greater percent of water?

What percent of the bottle of apple juice is water?

Answer 1

The orange juice has a greater percent of water compared to the apple juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which juice has a greater percent of water, we need to find the percentage of water in each juice. The apple juice contains 32 ounces of water in an 80 ounce bottle, so to find the percentage, we divide 32 by 80 and multiply by 100:

Percentage of water in apple juice = (32/80) x 100 = 40%

The orange juice contains 48 ounces of water in a 64 ounce bottle, so to find the percentage, we divide 48 by 64 and multiply by 100:

Percentage of water in orange juice = (48/64) x 100 = 75%

Therefore, the orange juice has a greater percent of water compared to the apple juice.

Answer 2

Part 1) 40% of the 80 ounce bottle of apple juice is water

Part 2) 75% of the 64 ounce bottle of orange juice is water

Part 3) An 64 ounce bottle of orange juice has a greater percent of water

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we know that

An 80 ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water

In this problem

80 ounce bottle of apple juice represent the 100%

so

using proportion

Find out how much percentage represent 32 ounces of water

Let

x ----> the percentage of ounces of water

`(80)/(100)=(32)/(x) \\\\x=100(32)/80\\\\x=40\%`

therefore

40% of the 80 ounce bottle of apple juice is water

Part 2) we know that

An 64 ounce bottle of orange juice contains 48 ounces of water

In this problem

64 ounce bottle of orange juice represent the 100%

so

using proportion

Find out how much percentage represent 48 ounces of water

Let

x ----> the percentage of ounces of water

`(64)/(100)=(48)/(x) \\\\x=100(48)/64\\\\x=75\%`

therefore

75% of the 64 ounce bottle of orange juice is water

Part 3) which juice has a greater percent of water?

Compare the percentage of ounces of water in both bottles

`75\% > 40\%`

therefore

An 64 ounce bottle of orange juice has a greater percent of water
