Ultrilliam:

Ah one sec for me to calculate how to solve this problem :)

Yinshy:

Ultrilliam:

alright, this time it's division

Ultrilliam:

what's 7% of 18400

Yinshy:

1288

Ultrilliam:

Correct, now divide x by y, where x = how much he had at the end and y = result of previous operation

Ultrilliam:

9016/1288
