haha well calculator is your friend :)
some even have a percent button

anonymous · Answer

Yes but I need a class in learning to use the stupid calculator. I could never understand this stuff in high school and now its just one of those credit fillers in order to get my associates degree in Medical coding and Billing. I hate fractions and I especially hate algebra. I could learn Spanish easier and standing on my head at the same time.
