Nico dropped the brand new bottle of dog shampoo and 3 ounces spilled out. he measures 1 1/4 ounces each time he shampoos his dog and the bottle of shampoo originally contained 30 1/2 ounces. which is the correct equation and value of x, the number of times nico can bathe his dog using this one bottle?

Amount of shampoo in a bottle =  ounces
Amount of shampoo Nico uses in one bathe for his dog  = 

Since 3 ounces of shampoo is spilled out, the amount of shampoo left in the bottle will be =  

If Nico can Bathe his dog x times using this bottle, the value of x can be written as:



Using this equation we can find the number of times Nico can use the shampoo to Bathe . The value of x comes out to be 22.

Thus, Nico can Bathe his dog 22 times using the bottle

The answer would be 13.5 minutes.
