vail has a stanley cup. she pours 40% of the water into another glass.<br>there is now 16 oz of water in the glass.<br>determine the original amount of the water in the stanley cup.

16

40

Explanation:

Step1: Match Alex's stats

Part = 3, Whole = 5, Percent = $\frac{3}{5} \times 100 = 60$

Step2: Match Vail's water stats

After pouring 40%, 60% remains: $0.6 \times \text{Whole} = 16$. So Whole = $\frac{16}{0.6} \approx 26.67$, Part = amount poured = $0.4 \times 26.67 \approx 10.67$, Percent = 40

Answer:

Situation	Part	Whole	Percent
