Question

An 80-ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water. A 64-ounce bottle of orange juice has 48 ounces of water. Which juice has a greater percent of water?

Answer 1

Orange juice has a greater percent of water.

Explanation:

Given:

An 80-ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water. A 64-ounce bottle of orange juice has 48 ounces of water.

Now, to find in which juice greater percent of water is there.

An 80-ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water.

Total ounces of juice = 80.

Total ounces of water = 32.

So, to get the percent of water:

`(32)/(80)* 100`

`=0.4* 100`

`=40\%.`

Now,

A 64-ounce bottle of orange juice has 48 ounces of water.

Total ounces of juice = 64.

Total ounces of water = 48.

So, to get the percent of water in bottle of orange juice:

`(48)/(64) * 100`

`=0.75* 100`

`=75\%.`

Thus, in bottle of orange juice contains 75% of water and in bottle of apple juice contains 40% of water.

Therefore, orange juice has a greater percent of water.
