An 80-ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water. A 64 ounce bottle of orange juice contains 48 ounces of water. Which has a greater percent of water?

The bottle 2 has a higher percentage of water

Step-by-step explanation:

We must analyze each of the bottles and calculate the percentage of water, and in this way we can know which has the highest percentage.

Bottle 1.

An 80-ounce bottle of apple juice contains 32 ounces of water

Total amount = 80 ounces

Amount of water = 32 ounces

So percentage of water = 32/80 * 100 = 40%

Bottle 2.

A 64 ounce bottle of orange juice contains 48 ounces of water

Total amount = 64 ounces

Amount of water = 48 ounces

So, percentage of water = 48/64 * 100 = 75%

Which means that bottle 2 has a higher percentage of water.

Answer: The 64 ounce bottle contains a greater percent of water.

Step-by-step explanation: We have two bottles which are both measured in ounces. The first bottle has an 80-ounce capacity and is holding 32 ounces of water. Therefore the percentage of water in that bottle is derived as;

Contents = (32/80) x 100

Contents = (2/5) x 100

Contents = 40

Hence the first bottle contains 40% of water.

The second bottle which has a 64-ounce capacity is holding 48 ounces of water so the percentage of its contents is calculated as;

Contents = (48/64) x 100

Contents = (3/4) x 100

Contents = 75

Hence the second bottle contains 75% of water.

Therefore the second bottle (the 64-ounce bottle) contains a greater percentage of water.
