A protein mix claims to contain a bonus of 20% more mix than the usual size container. If the bonus size contains 18 ounces of mix, what is the uusal size container?​

Answer 1

The usual size of the container is 15 ounces.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A protein mix claims to contain a bonus of 20% more mix than the usual size container.

Let the usual size of the container was x ounces.

They increase 20% of usual size and the bonus size is 18 ounces.

Therefore, the new size should be:

`x+20\%x=18`

`x(1+0.20)=18` (∴20%=
`(20)/(100)`=0.20)

`x(1.20)=18`

`x=(18)/(1.20)`

`x=15`

Hence, the usual size of the container is 15 ounces.
