Question

You usually buy a 5.4 ounce bottle of lotion. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 20% more free.

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

Answer 1

Let

x--------> the size of the larger bottle in ounces

we know that

`20\%=(20)/(100) =0.20`

`x=5.4(1+0.20)` --> equation that could be used to find the size of the larger bottle

Solve the equation for x

`x=5.4(1+0.20)=5.4*1.20=6.48\ ounces`

therefore

the answer is

the size of the larger bottle is
`6.48\ ounces`
