Respuesta :

Let X milliliters be the whole volume of the bottle of hot sauce. Then

X milliliters - 100%

x milliliters - 90%.

Write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{X}{x}=\dfrac{100}{90},\\ \\X=\dfrac{10x}{9}=1\dfrac{1}{9}x.[/tex]

Answer: The volume of the whole bottle is [tex]1\dfrac{1}{9}x[/tex] milliliters.

Answer:

10/9X and also x/0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find equivalent ways of writing the volume of a full bottle of Jun's favorite hot sauce.

\begin{aligned} \dfrac{x}{\blueD{90\%}}\cdot 100\%&=\dfrac{x}{\blueD{0.9}}\cdot 1\\\\ &=\dfrac{x}{\blueD{0.9}}\\\\ &=\dfrac{x}{\blueD{\left(\dfrac{9}{10}\right)}}\\\\ &=\blueD{\dfrac{10}{9}}x \end{aligned}
