As to the first math problem:

* An advertiser makes $0.10 every time someone clicks on their ad. Only 20% of people who visit the site click on their ad. How many people need to visit the site for the advertiser to make $20?

To make $20 for $0.10 a click you need $20.0 divided by 0.1 or 200 clicks. To get 200 clicks when 0.2 % of the people click you need 200 divided by 0.2 or 1000 people.

Put another way,

Let x= site visitors, 0.20x = site visitors who click, at $0.10 a click, (0.20x)($0.10) = $20.00, $0.02x = $20.00, x = ($20.00/$0.02) = 1000.

Oh yes, solve for x.

I like your way better. Thank you.
