Question
A sports drink bottle contains 16.9 fluid ounces. Andre drank 80% of the bottle. How many fluid ounces did Andre drink? Show your reasoning.
Solution
To find out how many fluid ounces Andre drank, we need to calculate 80% of the total fluid ounces in the bottle.
Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal. 80% becomes 0.80.
Step 2: Multiply the total fluid ounces by the decimal.
16.9 fluid ounces * 0.80 = 13.52 fluid ounces
So, Andre drank 13.52 fluid ounces of the sports drink.
