Total amount of the drink = 12 ounces
Amount of juice = 9 ounces
Percentage of juice in the drink = 9/12 × 100
= 75%
Hence the percent of juice in the drink is 75%

Answer:

The percent of the drink is juice is:

75%

Explanation:

It is given that:

A mom mixes 9 ounces of juice with 3 ounces of water.

This means that the total ounces of drink= 9+3 = 12 ounces.

The percent of the drink which is juice is:

Ratio of the quantity of juice to the total quantity of drink and multiplying this obtained quantity by 100.

i.e.


\text{Percent of the drink is juice}=(9)/(12)* 100\\\\\text{Percent of the drink is juice}=75\%
