OpenStudy (anonymous):

Shuuh y'all... what are you typing? Do you see what you are saying? How can it ever be 20, if 40 is more than 1/2 of 50 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it okay everyone thanks for helping me out :) but someone already messaged me the answer ;P

myininaya (myininaya):

Also I don't think the answer is 20.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah its not sorry every one but your all wrong

myininaya (myininaya):

@cateriy15 I hope the person who gave you the answer at least explained it. This isn't just an answer only site. Do you understand how they got what they got?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 70 i think

myininaya (myininaya):

It isn't 70. Try solving 40=50n for n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

75?

myininaya (myininaya):

How you have to do is translate the sentence into symbols and solve the word is replace with = the word of replace with times so we have 40=50n now solve for n and write as a percent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

break 40 into 4 tens. Each 10 is 1/5 of the 50, or 20 percent. So if 10 is 20 % how much percent is 40 ? (Laziest approach in the world )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or it equals swag

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@myininaya i understand how to do it it just that my answer was not Adding up and yeah i know its not an anwer site

OpenStudy (anonymous):

myininaya (myininaya):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
