Four cups of pure water are added to a 20-cup bowl of punch that is 75% juice. What percentage of the new punch is juice? Original (Cups) Added (Cups) New (Cups) Amount of Juice 15 0 Amount of Punch 20 4

The original punch contains 75% juice, so 20 × 0.75 = 15 cups of juice. Adding 4 cups of pure water increases the total amount to 24 cups but does not change the 15 cups of juice. Thus, 15 ÷ 24 = 0.625, or 62.5%, so the correct choice is 62.5 percent.
