Question

at a candy store, the small bag of chocolate holds 8 ounces of chocolate. the large bag holds 50% more than that. how much chocolate does the large bag hold? 150% is the same as 100% + 50%. you already know the value of 100%, so start by finding the value of 50% of 8 on the double number line. 150% · 8= ? 1.50 · 8 = ?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

The small bag has 8 ounces (100%). The large bag has 50% more, so we need to find 150% of 8.

Step2: Convert percentage to decimal

150% is equal to 1.50 in decimal form.

Step3: Multiply the decimal by the original amount

Calculate \(1.50 \times 8\).
\(1.50 \times 8 = 12\)

Answer:

The large bag holds 12 ounces of chocolate.
