To find the number of ounces that are not peroxide, we need to subtract the amount of peroxide from the total amount of liquid in the bottle.
The bottle contains 16 ounces and the peroxide makes up 70% of this total. Therefore, the amount of peroxide in the bottle is 16 * 0.70 = 11.2 ounces.
To find the amount that is not peroxide, we can subtract this from the total amount:
16 - 11.2 = 4.8 ounces
So, the answer is 4.8 ounces.
