Title: Bit of help on the maths front Post by: STFC_Chris on Wednesday, February 9, 2005, 20:29:54 8407-6591=1816
1816/8407=0.216 0.216x100=21.6 Think thats right... Title: Bit of help on the maths front Post by: Simon Pieman on Wednesday, February 9, 2005, 20:41:58 it's correct. you could also do it this way:
6591/8407= 0.784 1-0.784 = 0.216 or 21.6 % |
