Answer 1

Answer:

62.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

20 cup bowl of punch = 75% Juice

We can infer that :

The number of cups of JUICE is :

75% * 20 = 0.75 * 20 = 15 cups

Adding 4 cups of water to the 20 cups, we have = 24 cups

With 15 cups of JUICE ;

The percentage of the new punch that is juice will be x

x% of 24 cups = 15 cups

x/100 * 24 = 15

0.01x * 24 = 15

0.24x = 15

x = 15 / 0.24

x = 62.5

x = 62.5%
