thanks for helping me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think. And your welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i think i do not know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

XD. Well first you have to add $67 and $25 together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 92

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you find the percentage of 67 out of those two numbers. So you divide 67/92...which is...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it gives you this number. 0.7282608695652174 which then you round up. to....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1000??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. not 1000, how did you get 1000?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do not know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You round 0.7282608695652174 to B. which is .728.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then to convert that into a fraction you move two numbers before the decimal point so then it would be 72.8% do you see how i did that?
