Answer:
The container is filled to 87.5% of the maximum capacity.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Maximum capacity of container = m = 64 ounces
Filled capacity=> as it is 8 less than maximum capacity = 64-8 = 56 ounces
The container is 56 ounces full.
To find the percentage:
[tex]percentage = \frac{56}{64}*100\\= 0.875*100\\=87.5\%[/tex]
Hence,
The container is filled to 87.5% of the maximum capacity.
