Kidding, but even so, Bertha = :dunce:

5. How you figure percentage

in this case

1 divided by 75 times 100.

6. It's the same as 1/75, and to arrive at that answer we divide the numerator by the denominator

namely, 1 divided by 75 which does in fact equal .0133333333333333333333333333333333333. To write that as a percentage we make it 1.3333333333333333333333--> as KitchenWitch said.

You could use what my math teacher used to call the "The Gozinta Method" as in 75 gozinta (goes into) 1.

There, that ought to give you math class flashback anxiety. :P

8. I hear ya. We can NEVER truly leave high school.

I hope my explanation was correct ... Math wasn't really my thing. However, if you say something with authority, people tend to believe it. :)
