Problema Solution
Joy drank 48 ounces of water. This was 80% of the total amount of water in the pitcher. How much water was in the pitcher?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x = the amount of water in the pitcher
0.80*x = 48 divide both sides by 0.80
x = 48/0.80
x = 60 oz
there was 60 ounces of water in the pitcher.
