Question

John drank 12 oz of soda. If this was 60% of the soda in the bottle, how many ounces of soda were in the full bottle?

Answer 1

20oz

Explanation:

60%=12oz

this can be simplified into 1%

in order to find 1% divide by 60

60%/60=1%

in order to find out how much 1% is, divide 12oz by the number used to divide the percent

12/60=0.2

so 0.2=1% and we want to know 100% so multiply by 100

0.2x100=20

1%x100=100%

so 20oz=100% of the bottle
