Remark
You have to read this carefully to know what way to write it.
One way you could write it would be
20 * x = 18 where x is the fraction. Now all you need do is divide.
Divide both sides by 20
20/20 * x = 18/20
But you should reduce this fraction. The way to do that is to factor 18 and 20 into primes.
18: 2 * 3 * 3
20: 2 * 2 *5
Cancel out the Highest common factor or 2.

To find how much Henry can expect to receive from Social Security on a monthly basis, we first need to find how much he cant expect to receive from social security per year.
We know form our problem that Henry averaged an annual salary of $45,620, so to find how much can Henry expect to receive from Social Security per year, we just need to find the 42% of $45,620.
To find the 42% of $45,620, we are going to convert 42% to a decimal by dividing it by 100%, and then we are going to multiply the resulting decimal by $45,620:
Social security annual payment = (0.42)($45,620) = $19,160.40
Since there are 12 month in a year, we just need to divided the social security annual payment by 12 to find how much he can expect to receive each month.
Social security monthly payment = = $1.596.70
We can conclude that Henry can expect to receive $1.596.70 monthly from Social Security.
