Question

A large container has a maximum capacity of 64 ounces. The container is filled with 8 ounces less than its maximum capacity. Answer parts a and b.

a. To what percent of its capacity is the large container filed?
The container is filled to % of the maximum capacity.

Answer 1

The container is filled to 87.5% of the maximum capacity.

Explanation:

Given

Maximum capacity of container = m = 64 ounces

Filled capacity=> as it is 8 less than maximum capacity = 64-8 = 56 ounces

The container is 56 ounces full.

To find the percentage:

`percentage = (56)/(64)*100\\= 0.875*100\\=87.5\%`

Hence,

The container is filled to 87.5% of the maximum capacity.
