Question

If sunscreen holds 12 fluid ounces of sunscreen A regular bottle Holds 75%less in it how many ounces does the regular bottle of sunscreen hold?

Answer 1

3 ounces

Explanation:

there are two ways that the answer to this question can be determined

Method 1

If the regular bottle Holds 75% less in it, it means that the regular bottle holds 25%(100 - 75)

Ounces the regular bottle holds = 25% x 12

0.25 x 12 = 3

Method 2

Determine the value of 75%

75% x 12

0.75 x 12 = 9

Since the regular bottle Holds 75% less in it, subtract the value of 75% from 12 ounces

12 - 9 = 3
