Let’s break down this question step by step:

- The question says: 50% of ? = 20% of 40 + 60% of 80

- First, let’s handle the right side:

- 20% of 40 is 8 (since 0.2 × 40 = 8)

- 60% of 80 is 48 (0.6 × 80 = 48)

- So, add those together: 8 + 48 = 56

- Now, set up the left side:

- 50% of what number equals 56?

- That’s just asking: What number, when cut in half, gives you 56?

- So, ? = 56 ÷ 0.5 = 112

Now, the options:

- Option 1: 100—Not it.

- Option 2: 42—Nope.

- Option 3: 96—Close, but not quite.

- Option 4: 148—Too high.

- Option 5: 112—That’s the one.

The correct answer is Option 5, 112.
