Hi Stephen,

I am not entirely sure what your question is. But half my salary I would tranlate as "la moitié de mon salaire".

Hi Chris,

Me too, and that is the answer I gave. Not sure why it was marked as incorrect.

Can you post the full sentence? It might give a clue why one is considered correct over the other.
