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? what percent of the bottle of apple juice is water? 40 % water what percent of the bottle of orange juice is water? % water

Answer

Answer:

  1. 40
  2. 75

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate percent of water in orange - juice

Percent formula: $\text{Percent}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100%$. For orange - juice, the part (amount of water) is 48 ounces and the whole (size of bottle) is 64 ounces. $\text{Percent}=\frac{48}{64}\times100%$

Step2: Simplify the fraction

$\frac{48}{64}=\frac{3}{4}$ (divide both numerator and denominator by 16). Then $\frac{3}{4}\times100% = 75%$
