Don't you just hate this kind of question? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I really do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Even the choices are so close together, I can't even guess D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't even know where to start

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You start by thinking happy thoughts? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I think I left you hanging long enough, shall we begin? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, percent means portion... sort of. Kind of like splitting up treasure :D So... we want to know what we're splitting up, and that's the bill. How much is there, total? Just add up the bills :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

110.42

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good. Now we want to find out what portion 17.67 is from that big amount. To do that, just divide 17.67 by that 110.42. See what you conjure up, eh? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6.24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Backwards. You divide the smaller by the larger. Don't be scared, that's really how it works :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0.160?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's right. Now, to make it percent, just move that decimal point two spaces to the right And you've got it ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That wasn't so hard, was it? Just believe... ^^ ... in yourself though a little help never goes amiss :)
