First, count how much is 55% from 32 ounces:

32 ounces - 100%

x ounces - 55%.

Mathematically you can write proportion:

[tex] \dfrac{32}{x}=\dfrac{100}{55} ,\\ \\ x=\dfrac{32\cdot 55}{100} =17.6.[/tex]

Then you know that 17.6 ounces was drunk and you can calculate how much water left:

32-17.6=14.4

Answer: left 14.4 ounces of water.
