True, true. One should think before they speak..
My question wasn't to try and relearn what I already had known,
but in working on my calculator, I kept trying equations.
I tried 15/3000 * 100 and it kept coming out 0.05
I tried 15*3000 / 100 and it came out 450,
so I was a little baffled.. I knew it should be the other way
and I got to Algebra 2 Trig in school, I was just drawing a
blank at the time and made the mistake of asking the list.
Now Steve thinks All americans are as dumb as me evidently be cause I
did.
And no, a war is not what I am looking for, just help.
Even if I ask what 1 + 1 is, I should never get a response that Steve
Sacks sent.
And yes I have been helped from him before too,
but like I said in the beginning of this message.
One should think before they speak..
Thank you to those who did help me with my brain fart.

Now, we don't want to get a flame war going. That was Steven Sacks,
and he is most certainly one of the most helpful and knowledgeable
people on the list. Making one negative post doesn't make him an
asshole.
On the lighter side, yeah, we should probably all know how to do
percentages, but we're not all good at math. I asked the guy behind
the seafood counter at Safeway for a fifth of a pound of crab meat,
and he carefully weighed out .05 pounds for me. I probably ruined his
day when I said something like "Holy crap! Didn't they teach you
fractions in high school?"
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
