Question

A bottle contains 24.5 oz of water. A leak in the bottle causes it to lose 0.3 oz of water every minute. How many minutes does it take for the bottle to lose 33% of the water?

Answer 1

Answer: 54.7 Minutes

Explanation:

33% × 24.5 =

(33 ÷ 100) × 24.5 =

(33 × 24.5) ÷ 100 =

808.5 ÷ 100 =

8.085 ≈

8.09;

so then 8.09 - 24.5 = 16.41

16.41 divided by 0.3 = 54.7
