Answer:

Therefore, we conclude that William left 90.9% of an ounce of his coffee.

Explanation:

We know that William has a 22 ounce coffee. He drinks 2 ounces. We calculate percentage of ounces William has left of his coffee.

We get 22-2=20 ounce coffee.

We have the following proportion:


22:100\%=20:x\%\\\\22x=20\cdot 100\\\\x=(2000)/(22)\\\\x=90.9\%

Therefore, we conclude that William left 90.9% of an ounce of his coffee.
