Here is the full question

Diego pours 6.8 ounces of water from a full bottle. He estimates that he poured out 20% of the water in the bottle. About how much water was in the full bottle?

Let b = total ounces in the bottle

the equation that can be derived from this question is :

0.2 x b = 6.8

To find b, divide both sides by 0.2

b = 6.8 / 0.2 = 34 ounces
