You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Remember: 1 US gallon = 128 ounces(oz), see www.onlineconversion.com
But you have 4 gallons: 4%2A128=512oz, total volume of juice
You take out 15%2A4=60oz of juice, so the remaining will be:
%28%28512-60%29%2F512%29100=88.28% remaining out of the total 512 0z
OR, in 1 gal=128 ounces:
%28%28128-60%29%2F128%29100=53.125% remaining in 1 gallon
Thank you,
