'is' in mathematics means equal
'of' in mathematics means multiplication
Translating 8 is 50% of what number into an equation, we get:
8 = 50% * x
50%, or 50 percent, is nothing but 50 over 100 or 50/100, which is the same as 1/2.
8 = 1/2 * x
Multiply 2 on both sides.
8 * 2 = 1/2 * 2 * x
16 = x
x = 16
8 is 50% of 16.

D. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
One-pound bags sell for $2
Three-pound bags sell for $5
9 bags were sold for $36
6*$5=$30 (three pound bags)
3*$2=$6 (one pound bags)
$30+$6=$36
So 6 of the three-pound bags were sold
Answer: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
use a^2 + b^2 = c^2
where a = |y2 - y1| = 11 - 3 = 8
where b = |x2 - x1| = |-2 - 4| = |-6| = 6
8^2 + 6^2 = c^2
100^2 = c^2
c = 10
