Answer:
75% of the original volume is left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Deniz had a full gallon of milk, or 16 cups of milk, and then she poured out 4 cups of milk. That is:
- [tex]\\ A_{full-gallon} = \frac{16}{16}[/tex] cups of milk, since [tex]\\ \frac{16}{16} = 1[/tex] or [tex]\\ 1 * 100\% = 100\%[/tex] of the original volume.
- Deniz poured out 4 cups of milk from the 16 available (or [tex]\\ \frac{4}{16}[/tex]).
Then,
The total left is:
[tex]\\ Total_{left} = \frac{16}{16} - \frac{4}{16} = \frac{12}{16} = \frac{3}{4}[/tex], since we are dealing here with fractions with the same denominator.
In other words, [tex]\\ \frac{3}{4} = 0.75[/tex] is the amount of milk left in the container.
In terms of percentage, [tex]\\ \frac{3}{4} = 0.75[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\\ 0.75*100\% = 75\%[/tex] of the original volume, because Deniz poured out [tex]\\ \frac{4}{16} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25[/tex] or [tex]\\ 0.25*100\% = 25\%[/tex] from the original volume.
So, Deniz left 75% of the original volume of milk after pouring out 25% of it.
This can be represented in the graph below.
