Jill always buys the same kind of shampoo in an 11.5-ounce bottle. She is at the store buying more and sees that the bottle is now bigger and has 20% more for the same price. How many ounces of shampoo are in the new bottle.

Explanation:

100% = 11.5

20% more means 120%

120% = 100%×1.2 = 11.5×1.2 = 13.8 ounces
