1 answer

To find out which juice has a greater percent of water, we need to calculate the percentage of water in each juice bottle.

For the apple juice:
Water content = 32 ounces
Total volume = 80 ounces

Percentage of water = (Water content / Total volume) * 100
Percentage of water in apple juice = (32 / 80) * 100 = 40%

For the orange juice:
Water content = 48 ounces
Total volume = 64 ounces

Percentage of water = (Water content / Total volume) * 100
Percentage of water in orange juice = (48 / 64) * 100 = 75%

Therefore, the orange juice has a greater percentage of water than the apple juice.
