You have a large container of olive oil.

someone told me it is 7.5 but i keep getting 8.3

0.75x = 25

x = 33.333 original quarts

33.333 - 25 = 8.3

Let's check.

25 + 8.3 = 33.3

What is 75% of 33.3?

0.75 * 33.3 = 25

No matter how you turn it, you two are right and person z is wrong :)

its 14 trust me

To find out how many quarts of olive oil remain, we need to calculate 25% of the total amount of olive oil.

Given that 25% of the olive oil remains, it means that 75% has been used (100% - 25% = 75%).

Now, let's assume the total amount of olive oil in the container is 'x' quarts.

To find 75% of 'x', we can multiply 'x' by 0.75, since 75% can be expressed as a decimal fraction (75% = 0.75).

Therefore, the calculation is: 0.75 * x = 25 quarts (the amount used).

To solve for 'x', we divide both sides of the equation by 0.75:

x = 25 / 0.75

By performing the calculation, we get:

x ≈ 33.33 quarts

So, approximately 33.33 quarts of olive oil were initially in the container.

Since we used 25 quarts, the remaining amount of olive oil is:

33.33 quarts - 25 quarts = 8.33 quarts.

Therefore, approximately 8.33 quarts of olive oil remain in the container.
