New, larger bottle of shampoo contains 20 ounces. the bottle says you get 33% more than the amount in the original bottle. how many ounces of shampoo were in the original bottle?

Respuesta :

Amount of shampoo in the original bottle is 15.0376 ounces.

Larger bottle of shampoo contains = 20 ounces

Let, amount of shampoo in the original bottle = x ounces

33% of amount of shampoo in the original bottle = ((33x)/100)

According to the question, amount of shampoo in the larger bottle is 33% more of amount of shampoo in the original bottle. So, mathematically we can write

20 = x + ((33x)/100)

⇒ 20 = x + 0.33x

⇒ 20 = 1.33 x

⇒ x = 20/1.33

⇒ x = 15.0376

Amount of shampoo in the original bottle is 15.0376 ounces.
