Answer:

Th required equation is
x=5.4+(20)/(100)* (5.4).

The size of the larger bottle us 6.48 ounce.

Explanation:

The size of original bottle of lotion = 5.4 ounce

It is given that a new bottle gives you 20% more free.

Let x be the size of new bottle.

Size of new bottle = Size of original bottle + 20% of Size of original bottle


x=5.4+(20)/(100)* (5.4)


x=5.4+0.2* (5.4)


x=5.4+1.08


x=6.48

Therefore, the size of the larger bottle us 6.48 ounce.

Answer: The required equation is,


x = (120* 5.4)/(100)

Explanation:

Let x be the size of the larger bottle,

Since, the size of smaller bottle of lotion = 5.4 ounces,

According to the question,

The larger bottle gives 20% more free lotion,

The size of the larger bottle = The size of smaller bottle of lotion + 20 % of the size of smaller bottle of lotion

= 120 % of the size of smaller bottle of lotion

= 120 % of 5.4


=(120* 5.4)/(100)


\implies x = (120* 5.4)/(100)

Which is the required equation that could be used to find the size of the larger bottle.
