A glass was filled with 10 ounces of water, and 0.06 ounce of the water evaporated each day during a 20-day period. What percent of the original amount of water evaporated during this period?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers
A) 0.002 %	B) 0.02 %	C) 0.2 %	D) 12 %	E) 20 %

Rationale: "we are given that 0.06 ounces of water evaporated each day . furthermore , we know that this process happened over a 20 - day period . to calculate the total amount of water that evaporated during this time frame we need to multiply 0.06 by 20 . this gives us : 0.06 x 20 = 1.2 ounces finally , we are asked for “ what percent ” of the original amount of water evaporated during this period . to determine this percentage , we have to make sure we translate the expression correctly . we can translate it to : ( amount evaporated / original amount ) x 100 % ( 1.2 / 10 ) x 100 % ( 12 / 100 ) x 100 % = 12 % answer d"
Answer: D
