orange juice has 48 ounces of water. Which juice has a greater percent of water?
A) What percent of the bottle of apple juice is water?
B) What perceix of the bottle of orange juice is water?

Answer 1

To find the percent of water in each juice, divide the amount of water by the total volume of the bottle and multiply by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the percent of water in the apple and orange juice, we need to calculate the percentages of water in each juice bottle.

A) To find the percent of water in the apple juice, we need to divide the amount of water (32 ounces) by the total volume of the bottle (80 ounces) and then multiply by 100.
Percent of water in apple juice = (32/80) x 100 = 40%

B) To find the percent of water in the orange juice, we need to divide the amount of water (48 ounces) by the total volume of the bottle (64 ounces) and then multiply by 100.
Percent of water in orange juice = (48/64) x 100 = 75%

Therefore, the orange juice has a greater percent of water compared to the apple juice.
