Hello again, to solve a problem like this you need to multiply 1280 by 82% or 0.82 then add it back to the original amout (1280)

1049.6

Yes now add that to 1280, because its 82% more

scarlettfarra2000 · Answer

he is drinking additional 82% to his 100%.
(100% is 1280 mL)

so he is taking 182% of the 1280mL
182% of something ,   >>>   something times 1.82.
$$1280mL \times 1.82$$
 you will have:

f(x)=1280(1.82)x,    as your function, for any day x, with whater f(x)
You find 82% of 1280
Long story short its 2329.6.
