You can put this solution on YOUR website!
One way to do this is to write an equation where 'x' represents the number you are looking for. in this case;
\n" ); document.write( "\"0.8x=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 0.8 to get x alone:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=40%2F0.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=50%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "==========
