you know those times that your brain COMPLETELY short circuits? thats a DURRRR moment...

so My Durrr question and I KNOW I KNOW this...

what is the mathmatic formula for finding the percent of something

like you have 26 apples and 5 apples are bad what is the percentage of the good apples?

I think all my training to learn this new job has shoved some stuff OUT of my head

Thanks in advance

5/26 times 100 is the percentage of bad, subtract that number from 100 for the percentage of good.

Divide the bd apples by the total. 5 divided by 26 means %19.2 of your apples are goners.

little kids math homework.... I knew someone would tell me...LOL... the hubby is the math wizard at this house... I can do most basic math (which this is but still brain went out the window) and basic algebra... anything above that I never learned.

I will not be able to help my 15 yr old in 2 yrs cause he will be in geometry...
