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? which point represents the unknown, the large bag of chocolate? 0 a 8 b chocolate (ounces) 0% 50% 100% 150% b a

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the percentage increase

The small bag has 8 ounces, and the large bag holds 50% more. So the total percentage of the small bag's amount for the large bag is \(100\% + 50\%=150\%\) of the small bag's amount.

Step2: Match the percentage to the number line

Looking at the number line with percentages, 150% is marked at point B. Also, since the small bag is 8 ounces (marked at 100% on the percentage line's corresponding value), 150% of 8 ounces (which is the large bag's amount) should correspond to the point representing 150% on the percentage - related number line, which is point B.

Answer:

B
