Algebra I Water Bottles

1. In a race with 96 contestants, you set out 100 bottles of water but only 41 bottles were used. In another race with 215 contestants, you provide 150 bottles but only 84 bottles are used & in a race of 255, again you provide 150 but only 107 water bottles are used. For each of the three races, the number of bottles of water that were used what was the percent of the number of contestants?
 
 
2. You are now planning a race that will have 150 contestants. Use your answers from exercise 1 to predict the number of watter bottles that may be needed at that event.
