One fruit drink advertised that it contained "10% real fruit juice." In one bottle, this was found to be 4.8 oz of real juice. How many ounces is something other than fruit juice? ​

Answer:

43.2 oz

Explanation:

4.8/x=10/100

simplify:

4.8/x=1/10

cross multiply:

x=48

there is 48 oz juice in total

to find the rest:

48-4.8=43.2

43.2 oz is something other than fruit juice.
