Question

The bottles of juice that Craig usually buys each have x ounces of juice in them. Another company makes biggerbottles of juice that each have 10% more juice in them than the bottles that Craig usually buys. Craig buys 8bottles of the bigger size. The total amount of juice, in ounces, he buys is represented by the expression shownbelow.8(x + 0.1x)Which expression also represents the total amount of juice, in ounces, Craig buys?

Answer 1

The bottle of juice he usually buys = x ounces

10 % more of the of the juice he usually buy = 0.1x

He bought 8 bottles of bigger size = 8 (0.1x + x)

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} 8(x+0.1x)=8(1.1x)=8.8x \\ \end{gathered}`
