Exactly, the last time I did percentages was 20 years ago at school, not had a need to do it since, although should start boning up on it before my 7 year olds homework has it, luckily at the moment it is general mental arithmetic, time and fractions which I am pretty good at.

I used to know the alphabet In binary but I cannot even recite A now, I wonder if the guys that answered the question are either young or do percentages often enough to remember how to do it?, I now know how to work it out because you guys have told me, dont know how long it will be before I forget it though :).

I do enjoy how some people on these forums react, some just help, others jokingly mock and a minority seriously mock and judge, nowt stranger than folk!

I was very busy working, was asked a question that with a little googling and thinking power I probably could have answered but did not have time, I thought ill quickly post it in GD from my S4, it seems I accidentally pressed the "cannot" predictive text word as opposed to the "can" which is probably because I was also on my work phone at the time. GD did not let me down and the question was answered quickly without me having to divert much of my attention or ever diminishing brain power, kind of like distributive computing for the brain.

You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense.

Is OP struggling with the question because he's poor and poor people make bad decisions?

Robin Hood: The poor are going to be absolutely thrilled. Have you met them at all?
Randall: Who?
Robin Hood: The poor.
Randall: The poor?
Robin Hood: Oh you must meet them. I'm sure you'll like them. Of course they haven't got two pennies to rub together but that's because they're poor.

Why? You're sat at a computer and have easy access to a calculator.

What you may gain in arithmetic skills, you certainly lose on initiative.

But he's practising and if he ever needs to do it when he has no calculator then he'll be much better prepared. Which makes me wonder if op will practise or just repeat this procedure next time.
