Let m = the total number of medals.
To find the total number of medals we can use either of the clues they gave us.
If Tara's team received 8 medals and that was 1/3 of the medals. That must mean that:
m x 1/3 = 8
What number divided by 3 is 8? Well, that is 24. Thus, the total number of medals is 24.
Note: we can check to see if 1/2 of 24 is 12, the total number of medals Jennifer team received, and it checks out!
Henry has completed 40% of his work, leaving him with a remaining 60%.
What you do is divide 20 by 50 and your answer is .4, move the decimal two places to the right to get your percent, 40. Then subtract it out of 100 and you get the remaining 60%, which essentially is your answer.
