  • Quick real life maths problem.
    There are 2 payees
    One has to pay 3/5ths as much as the other.
    What percentage is this of the whole?

    My reckoning is
    If one is paying £5 the other £3
    £8 total.
    So 100 ÷ 8 x 3 = 37.5%

    Amirite?

  • Thanks.
    Yes it does sound a bit awkward.
    I was writing while making my first coffee

    It seems to take 2 to get the cogs moving these days.

    Is there a more elegant method?
