Question

A juice container has 35% more juice in its new packaging. The original packaging held 50 fluid ounces. How much juice does the new packaging hold?

Answer 1

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.
