A bottle of a cranberry-apple juice cocktail is 95 % juice. how many ounces of juice are in a 76 oz bottle of the juice cocktail?

95% = 95/100

95/100 of 76/1. (Always remember that every whole number is over 1)

So now we have 95/100 of 76/1

We can't solve with "of"

So we'll have to change it to "times (x) " ... when we do that, it would cause 76/1 to reciprocate to 1/76

So now we have this: 95/100 x 1/76

When we solve it this is what we'll get: 19/20 x 1/76 = 19/1520 = 1/80

the answer will be less than 76 oz of juice because you only have 95% juice content. You have to multiply 95% times 76 oz to get your answer. The 95% needs to be changed to decimal form to be able to multiply and get your answer.

95% is the same as 95/100 which equals 0.95 in fraction form.

Multiply the 0.95 times the 76 oz and you will get 72.2 oz of juice.
