Question 457372: you have 60 percent of a bottle of raspberry syrup remaining. If 10 fluid ounces were used, how many fluid ounces did the bottle originally hold? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 60% remaining means 40% was used
40 percent is 10 ounces
.4x=10
4x/10=10
4x=100
x=25
check
.60*25=3/5*25=15 remaining which means 10 were used
ok
