The answer is $0.55

$8.50 is 100%.
x is 6.5%

8.50 : 100% = x : 6.5%
x = 8.50 : 100% * 6.5%
x = 0.5525
x ≈ $0.55

Given :

The square of a number, x, is 16 less than eight times the number.

To Find :

The value of x .

Solution :

The mathematical equation with all given data is :

$x^2=8x-16\\\\x^2-8x+16=0\\\\x^2-4x-4x+16=0\\\\x(x-4)-4(x-4)=0\\\\(x-4)^2=0\\\\x=4$

Therefore , the value of x is 4 .

Hence , this is the required solution .
