Hello. I am trying to figure out how to divide an order I got where the cost is 243.50 and I will pay 3/8 of it and another person will pay 5/8 of it. I can't figure out how to set it up.
In mathematics, "of" is translated as "multiplied by" (symbol *). Then:
You pay 3/8 of 243.5 → You pay (3/8 * 243.5 =) ???
similarly
Another person pays 5/8 of 243.5 → Another person pays (5/8 * 243.5 =) ???
Well, can't be much simpler; perhaps this:
a = 243.50
x = 3/8
u = 1st person = a * x
v = 2nd person = a - u
In mathematics, "of" is translated as "multiplied by" (symbol *). Then:
You pay 3/8 of 243.5 → You pay (3/8 * 243.5 =) ???
similarly
Another person pays 5/8 of 243.5 → Another person pays (5/8 * 243.5 =) ???
