Answer:

48 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount in small container be x and that of largest be y

If a small container of detergent holds 75% as much as the large container of detergent, this can be represented as;

x = 75% of y

Given x = 36

36 = 75% of y

36 = 0.75y

y = 36/0.75

y = 48 ounces

Hence the large container will hold 48 ounces
