A company claims that their new bottle holds 25 % more laundry soap. If their original container held 53 fluid ounces of soap, how much does the new container hold

The new container hold 66.25 ounces.

Step-by-step explanation:

Original container has 53 ounces of soap

The new one contains 25% more so,

= 25 % x 53

= 25/100 x 53

= 1/4 X 53

= 53/4

= 13.25

Therefore, new will contain 53 + 13.25 = 66.25 ounces of soap.

53 *.25 = 13.25, 53 + 13.25 = 66.25 fluid ounces
