Question

You usually buy a 5.45.4 ounce bottle of lotion. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 20%20% more free.

Use the drop-down menus to build an equation that could be used to find the size of the larger bottle, xx.

Answer 1

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 2

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.
