If 8 men on a construction crew make up 40% percent of the entire crew, how many people are in the crew?

Could someone explain this question to me? I don't get it at all

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 40% of the crew are men, which means n. 40=8 n=8/. 40 n=20 total number of crew 20 - 8=12 are women

x(0.4)=8
x=8/0.4
x=20
so there’s 20 people in the crew
hope this helps !
