Answer 2

50% of 400 is, in other words, 1/2 × 400, 50/100 × 400 or 400 ÷ 2. whichever way you write it, the answer is 200 in the end.

if you are doing 1/2 × 400 or 50/100 × 400, basically the 400, when converted to an improper fraction, is 400/1, so then you cross multiply the working (i'll show an example using 50/100 × 400 below):

50/100 × 400

= 50/100 × 400/1 (so then you find the highest hcf between any of the denominators or numerators so that the number you are dealing with is smaller - in this case 100 and 400 have both the hcf 100)

= 50/1 × 4/1  (then you basically multiply the numerators with the denominators  - 50 × 4 and 1 × 1)

= 200/1

= 200 (this is because 200/1 is basically 200)

hope this helps :) if you still don't understand, just ask any question you have as a comment below
