Answer

There will be 127 full bottles.

Step-by-step explanation

The total batch of 9550 ounces of liquid dish soap.

1 bottle = 75 ounces

Let the number of bottles that will take 9550 ounces be n

1 bottle = 75 ounces

n bottles = 9550 ounces

We can write a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

(75) (n) = (1) (9550)

75n = 9550

Divide both sides by 75

(75n/75) = (9550/75)

n = 127.333 bottles.

This means there will be 127 full bottles.

Hope this Helps!!!
