@nuk64 Please don't *answer* questions directly from now on. Thanks :)

^Sorry. To explain: when you have a percentage, the percent sign (%) means "per cent" where 'cent' is 100. so 76% is 76 per cent. which is 76 per 100. per, in this case is the division sign - making it 76/100. That's a fraction that can be simplified.
