Jackson drinks 0.44 liters of water, which was 55% of the water in the bottle. How much water was in the bottle to start?

He had 0.8 liters to start with ...

Step-by-step explanation:

0.44 is 55% of what? (what = x)

Equation: Y = P% * X

X = Y/P%

X = 0.44/55%

55% = 0.55

X = 0.44/0.55

X = 0.8

ans is 0.8 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Jackson drinks 0.44 liters of water, which was 55% of the water in the bottle.

Let X be the volume of water in the bottle to start.

55% of X = 0.44L

X = 0.44/55% = 0.44/55*100=44/55=4/5=0.8 liters
