    Step-by-step explanation:

    Set up the following equation:

    80-0.6m=100-1m

    1) Add 1m to both sides:

    80+0.4m=100

    2) Subtract 80 from both sides:

    0.4m=20

    3) Divide both sides by 0.4:

    m=50

    Let me know if you have any difficulty understanding how I set up the equation!
