8 is 40% of what number?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "thank for your help\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Obviously, the number that is being sought is going to be LARGER than 8, because 8 represents 40% of that number.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Putting the information in mathematical terms, and using N as the number, we get: \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8 = .4 * N\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "8 = .4N ------ .4N = 8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "N = \"8%2F.4+=+20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, \"highlight_green%2820%29\" is 40% of 8.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
