A) If Sofi accidentally spills 5% of the container's maximum capacity on the counter, the container is now filled to 87.5% of its capacity.
B) If Sofi needs to add 16 ounces of water to her turtle tank, she needs to use 28.57% of the remaining water in the container.
Given that Sofi stores water for her turtle tank in a container with a maximum capacity of 64 ounces and the container is filled with 4.8 ounces less than its maximum capacity, to determine A) if Sofi accidentally spills 5% of the container's maximum capacity on the counter, to what percent of its capacity is the container now filled, and B) if Sofi needs to add 16 ounces of water to her turtle tank, what percentage of the remaining water in the container does she need to use, the following calculations must be made:
A)
- 64 = 100
- (64 - 4.8) - (64 x 0.05) = X
- 64 = 100
- 56 = X
- 56 x 100/64 = X
- 87.5 = X
Therefore, if Sofi accidentally spills 5% of the container's maximum capacity on the counter, the container is now filled to 87.5% of its capacity.
B)
- 56 = 100
- 16 = X
- 16 x 100/56 = X
- 28.57 = X
Therefore, if Sofi needs to add 16 ounces of water to her turtle tank, she needs to use 28.57% of the remaining water in the container.
