A small container of detergent holds 75% as much as the large container of detergent. If the small container hold 36 ounces, the large container will hold ounces.

48 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount in small container be x and that of largest be y

If a small container of detergent holds 75% as much as the large container of detergent, this can be represented as;

x = 75% of y

Given x = 36

36 = 75% of y

36 = 0.75y

y = 36/0.75

y = 48 ounces

Hence the large container will hold 48 ounces

0 is its x and y coordinate

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
