You usually buy a 5.4 ounce bottle of lotion. There is a new bottle that says it gives you 20% more free.

Use the drop-down menus to build an equation that could be used to find the size of the larger bottle, x.

5.4 x 1.2[+20%] = a

a = 6.48

Answer: x = 0.20 (5.4) or x=0.20 (5.4 ounces).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : You usually buy a 5.4 ounce bottle of lotion.

There is a new bottle that says it gives you 20% more free.

i. e. Size of new bottle = 20% of 5.4 ounces

= 0.20 (5.4 ounces) [we divide percentage by 100 to convert it into decimal]

Also, the size of the larger bottle is given to be x.

i. e. x=0.20 (5.4 ounces)

On solving, we get

x = 1.08 ounces

Hence, required equation is x = 0.20 (5.4) or x=0.20 (5.4 ounces).
