What is your math problem?? and do you know the formula that you use??

 

[emmaiskool242]

well the basic rule for percents is your fraction from your problem(ex. what percent of 7 is 6) so you would set it up6/7=y/100 then you would cross multiply(ex.6 x 100 & 7 x y) and then you would set it up in to an equation(ex. 600=7y) then just solve. Which would give you your answwe= y=%85.71.

yeah no problem happy to help anytime , percent is my best thing, its very useful to know I use it all the time, it just takes a little bie of practice

just one tiny tidbit if it gives you a problem like ex.30% of 7 then you just would fill it into your formula this always works its:IS/OF=%/100
that always works good luck
