A better way to conceptualize the problem.
50/200 = x/400
Still get the same answer, but it gives you a method for similar problems.

To find the number of elves needed to make 400 toys, we can set up a proportion based on the given information.
Let's call the number of elves needed to make 400 toys as "x".
Using the given information, we know that:
50 Elves can make 200 toys.
So, we can set up the proportion as:
50 Elves / 200 toys = x Elves / 400 toys
To solve this proportion for "x", we can cross-multiply and then solve for "x":
(50 Elves) * (400 toys) = (200 toys) * (x Elves)
20000 = 200x
To isolate "x", we divide both sides of the equation by 200:
20000 / 200 = x
100 = x
Therefore, St. Nick needs 100 elves to make 400 toys.
