Question

Nico dropped the brand new bottle of dog shampoo and 3 ounces spilled out. He measures 1 ounces each time he shampoos

his dog and the bottle of shampoo originally contained 305 ounces. Which is the correct equation and value of x, the number of
times Nico can bathe his dog using this one bottle?

Answer 1

A he will have bathed his dogs 22 times, NOT 302

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

x = 302.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the brand new shampoo bottle originally contained 305 ounces and Nico lost 3 ounces, he will be left with 302 ounces of dog shampoo:

305 - 3 = 302

Considering he uses 1 ounce each time he bathes his dog, the number of baths he will be able to perform is calculated as follows:

x = 302 ÷ 1

x = 302

Nico will have bathed his dog 302 times before the bottle is completely empty.
