Percent

[lankeela]

What percent of 5000 is 200? (Don't need to know how to do it just the answer please).

[ToraToraTora]

pixie 12:38 and 12:43, both very good points.

[lankeela]

And the (fourth) best answer goes to gingejbee!

BHG, had you read it, you would know that, "he" is female

[bobbinwales]

Well we can always ignore questions from people who slate us for trying to be helpful and give an answer that might help others.

I am of the old school who defaults to a male pronoun if the gender is not obvious.

[bobbinwales]

If I'd just gave a wrong answer like 40% with no explanation and I was the only one would I have got best answer?

Also this was posted in CB where I thought we could all join in and go off topic and make comments whatever the poster's wishes.

[Peter Pedant]

am i er the only one to notice the best answer doesnt have a 'four' in it - - that is - - is off the point of the question. So she should first be whining at herself as a warm-up

four ! four!

[Khandro]

200 is 4% of 5000

[Peter Pedant]

// Who says slash means divide? It didn't when I went to school//
yeah foo - of course it does

1/2 is a half - - the / is pronounced yupon - 1 yupon 2
caused chaos. First heard it in the days that you cdnt say - "sir what one earth did you just say?"

[choux]

Surely going off topic would be asking what is for Sunday dinner?

lankeela will have long lost interest in further answers I imagine and who can blame her? :)

[piggynose]

shouldnt pixies 4% at 11.13 be best answer?

[bobbinwales]

not really piggynose 'cos she spoilt in by following up straight after with "I did 200/5000 then ×100 for percentage." when lankeela has stated they just wanted the answer and not how to do it

lankeela, there's a seat over here with the other mathophobes. :-)
