Question

40 circuits is 50% of what number of circuits?
Would it be .2?

Answer 1

You need to use 40 and divide by 50%. You are trying to find the number of circuits if cut in half would equal 40.

Answer 2

For example, half (50%) of 80 circuits is 40 circuits.

Answer 3

so 40 dived by .50= 80
is that right?

Answer 4

oh.. would it be 20 then

Answer 5

It would be 80 circuits. I think you are misunderstanding the problem. It is telling you that you have 40 circuits after you cut the original # by half the amount.

Answer 6

ohh i understand it now. thank you so much!

Answer 7

Welcome, glad I can help.
