Mathematically illiterate

[Morlan]

X: 24481 (A+B)

A: 13,843
B: 10,638

How do I calcualted the percentage of A and B in X?

 

[growse]

For A: A/X * 100.

 

[Gilly]

A divided by X times 100.
B divided by X times 100.

 

[Morlan]

For A: A/X * 100.

57%

Thanks

'illiterate' probably does come from the word 'literature'. But your mistake is thinking that literature is just the subject of learning to read and right etc...

published writings in a particular style on a particular subject.

You're not illiterate if you can read and right, but you are if you read and wrong.
