Problem

Liliane has $50\%$ more soda than Jacqueline, and Alice has $25\%$ more soda than Jacqueline. What is the relationship between the amounts of soda that Liliane and Alice have?

$\textbf{(A) }$ Liliane has $20\%$ more soda than Alice.

$\textbf{(B) }$ Liliane has $25\%$ more soda than Alice.

$\textbf{(C) }$ Liliane has $45\%$ more soda than Alice.

$\textbf{(D) }$ Liliane has $75\%$ more soda than Alice.

$\textbf{(E) }$ Liliane has $100\%$ more soda than Alice.


Solution 1

Let's assume that Jacqueline has $1$ gallon(s) of soda. Then Alice has $1.25$ gallons and Liliane has $1.5$ gallons. Doing division, we find out that $\frac{1.5}{1.25}=1.2$, which means that Liliane has $20\%$ more soda. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(A) } 20 \%}$

Solution 2

If Jacqueline has $x$ gallons of soda, Alice has $1.25x$ gallons, and Liliane has $1.5x$ gallons. Thus, the answer is $\frac{1.5}{1.25}=1.2$ -> Liliane has $20\%$ more soda. Our answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(A) } 20 \%}$.
