To determine how much juice does the new packaging hold, use the following formula:


b=a+a\cdot p

Where b is the new volume of juice, a is the old volume of juice and p is the increasing percent (in decimals).

Replace for the given values to find b.


\begin{gathered} b=50+50\cdot0.35 \\ b=67.5 \end{gathered}

The new packaging holds 67.5 fl oz.
