50% is another way of writing 0.50 or 1/2.

Blue cotton candy is 50%, there are 22 blues, therefore 22 is 50% of the total number.

Using algebra,
0.50x=22
X=44

Another way to think about this is simply to consider that 50% is half, and if 22 is half then one need only multiply by two to get the whole.

44. You can come to this answer by using algebra,
1/2x = 22
Multiply both sides by 2(denominator) thus,
X = 44.
Or you can use lateral thinking and realise that if 22 is 50%, you need to multiply by 2 to reach 100%.

Phyllis solved the compound inequality 16 < 2(3x – 1) < 28. She began by first breaking the inequality into two separate i
poizon [28]
16<2(3x-1)<28  divide all terms by 2

8<3x-1<14  add 1 to all terms

9<3x<15  divide all terms by 3

3<x<5

x=(3,5) in interval notation

On a number line, it would be a line segment from 3 to 5 with open circles at 3 and 5.

On a coordinate system graph, it would be an infinitely high shaded plane between the vertical lines x=3 and x=5
