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

The new container hold 66.25 ounces.

Let x represent the capacity of the new container.

Since the new bottle holds 25% more laundry soap and the original container held 53 fluid ounces of soap, hence:

Additional space for the new container = 25% * 53 fluid ounces = 13.25 ounces

Hence:

New container capacity = 13.25 ounces + 53 ounce = 66.25 ounces

Hence the new container hold 66.25 ounces.
