A brand of laundry soap is packaged in a new bottle. The new label claims to have 140% as much as the old bottle. The new bottle contains 175 ounces of soap. How many ounces of soap were in the old bottle?

Respuesta :

In order to calculate how many ounces the old bottle had, we just need to divide the weight of the new bottle by the percentage increase:

[tex]\text{old bottle}=\frac{175}{140\text{\%}}=\frac{175}{1.4}=125[/tex]

So the old bottle has 125 ounces.
