      Change 90% into a decimal: 0.90 or 0.9
      Translate the key words: "of" = multiply and "is" means "="
      Translate the phrase: "8 is 90% of n" becomes 8 = 0.90n
      Solve for "n" by dividing both sides by 0.9

      Alternatively, set up a proportion:
      8/n = 90/100
      Cross multiply and divide to solve for "n"

      Hope this helps.

      yes, it is! x and y are commonly used as variables on khan, but what they are most famous for is the the x and y axis, but as sal says "You can use any variable but were going to use x and y" they just use it on khan for equations and other math problems often! btw off topic, im a fellow programmer two! nice to meet you!:D

      expression: 5t+3

      If t=11:

      (5x11)+3
      =55+3
      =58

    What happens if t is a decimal, a logarithmic function or even worse an exponential function?

      If "t" is a decimal, you do the same thing you would with a whole number.

    This may sound trite but, what EXACTLY does "evaluate" mean in the context of mathematics?

    I ask because I am reviewing the basics, and looking back through my math education it honestly seems like there really isn't a specific definition; it's like the teacher just means "do that thing I showed you in class", almost like little kids sometimes think that "=" means "give me an answer". I have the same problem with "prove". No one ever told me when proving something what I am allowed to assume is true, and some math teachers differ in their opinion on the matter.

      Well i recommend using a definition dictionary (If you don't understand the meaning of a concept) , you can find very useful ones in the internet. Evaluate at least in my experience is to determined something, for example if the sentence says: "Evaluate 2X + 4 when the x value is 5" Well you check the value of the expression when X is five, in this case it will give you fourteen. And that's it, you have determined, checked or evaluated a certain situation.

      If another operation is before the parentheses, then you don't multiply. If you have something like 3- (-3), you just subtract the -3.
      If yo have 4*(5), you only multiply once.

      The process does not change. You replace the variable with its given value. Then, you follow order of operations rules (PEMDAS) to complete the math. If some numbers are fractions, then you follow the processes for working with fractions.

      Here's a video that comes a little later in the lessons: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:foundation-algebra/x2f8bb11595b61c86:substitute-evaluate-expression/v/evaluating-expressions-in-two-variables-with-decimals-and-fractions
