OpenStudy (djjo):
so you can do this in two different ways
OpenStudy (djjo):
the one I find easiest is when you do 16.65 * 100 and divide the answer by 19.98 so its basically making a cross with an arrow pointing to x|dw:1440436941127:dw|
OpenStudy (djjo):
do understand already?
OpenStudy (pratyush5):
@DJJo I think you are doing it wrong .
OpenStudy (djjo):
Well, what I'm doing is finding the percentage of 16.65 over 19.98 and then removing that percentage from 100 to find how much it increased
