    Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.

    Net               X
    ------    =    ------
    Gross            100
    
    
    (GrossX) = (Net × 100)
    
    GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X
    
    Example;
    
    200             X
    ------    =   -------
    250            100
    
    Step A
    200 × 100 = 20000
    
    Now 250X = 20000
    
    Step B
    20000÷250=80
    
    Therefore X=80
    Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.
    

    It’s also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.
