selling at half of / at the half of


Hi,



Is the following sentence correct? Would the sentence sound odd if I inserted 'the' before 'half'?



The business is selling at half of its replacement cost.



Thanks,



MG.

Musicgold The business is selling at half of its replacement cost. It's fine as it stands. Inserting "the" would be incorrect.
