Jill always buys the same kind of shampoo in an 11.5-ounce bottle. She is at the store buying more and sees that the bottle is now bigger and has 20% more for the same price. How many ounces of shampoo are in the new bottle?

Alright, lets get started.

The quantity of the shampoo Jill always buys = 11.5 ounce

She is at the store buying more and sees that the bottle is now bigger and has 20% more for the same price.

Means we could find the extra shampoo she is getting by :


(20)/(100) * 11.5


0.2 * 11.5 = 2.3 ounce

Means she is getting total shampoo in her new bottle =
11.5 + 2.3

Means she is getting total shampoo in her new bottle = 13.8 ounce : Answer

Hope it will help :)
