Answer 1

The regular bottle holds 9 fl oz less

Explanation:

Given

Family Size = 12 fl oz

Required

Determine the size held less by the regular bottle

From the question, we have that the regular bottle holds 75% less;

`Regular\ Size = 75\% * Family\ Size`

Substitute 12 fl oz for Family Size

`Regular\ Size =75\% * 12\ fl\ oz`

Convert percentage to fraction

`Regular\ Size = (75)/(100) * 12\ fl \oz`

`Regular\ Size = (75 * 12\ fl\ oz)/(100)`

`Regular\ Size = (900\ fl\ oz)/(100)`

`Regular\ Size = 9\ fl\ oz`

Hence, the regular bottle holds 9 fl oz less
