Q. Josiah is trying to drink more water, so he has been keeping a log of how much water he drinks. Josiah drank 6060 ounces of water two days ago. Yesterday, he drank 65%65\% more than that amount. How much water did he drink yesterday?\newline____ ounces
  1. Calculate Additional Water: Calculate the additional amount of water Josiah drank, which is 65%65\% of 6060 ounces.\newlineCalculation: 65%65\% of 60=0.65×60=3960 = 0.65 \times 60 = 39 ounces.
  2. Find Total Amount Drank: Add the additional 3939 ounces to the original 6060 ounces to find the total amount of water Josiah drank yesterday.\newlineCalculation: 60+39=9960 + 39 = 99 ounces.
