Heather increase the amount of soda she drinks from 48 oz. to 54 oz. By what percentage did Heather increase the amount of soda she drinks?

12.5 percent increase

Step-by-step explanation:

so we know from 48 oz to 54 oz, the amount increases by 6 oz

now we just have to determine 6 oz is what percentage of 48 oz

6 goes into 48 eight times

100 divided by 8 is 12.5

6 is 12.5 percent of 48

we can double-check this by multiplying 12.5 x 8 which equals 100 so that confirms its 12.5 percent

we get the 8 by seeing that 6 goes into 48 eight times.
