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? identify and label the point on the double number line that represents the amount of chocolate the small bag holds. chocolate (ounces) 0% 50% 100% 150%

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the small bag's amount

The small bag holds 8 ounces. On the double number line, 100% corresponds to the small bag's amount (since 100% of the small bag's amount is the small bag itself). So we label the point at 100% on the percentage line with 8 ounces on the chocolate ounces line.

Step2: Calculate the large bag's amount

The large bag holds 50% more than the small bag. 50% of 8 ounces is $0.5\times8 = 4$ ounces. So the large bag's amount is $8 + 4 = 12$ ounces. Alternatively, using percentage: 100% + 50% = 150% of the small bag's amount. 150% of 8 ounces is $1.5\times8 = 12$ ounces.

Answer:

The large bag holds 12 ounces of chocolate. For the double - number line, the point representing the small bag (8 ounces) is at the 100% mark on the percentage line, and we label that point with 8 ounces on the chocolate (ounces) line.
