  • 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.














  • I agree, the nature of the convictions should be a factor. I also agree that a sort of “cooldown” from a conviction would be reasonable, before having eligibility for holding political office restored. I’ve been leary of the simplified “convicts shouldn’t hold office” statement though, since the original intention of that lack of disqualification criteria was, to my understanding, to prevent political imprisonment from barring opponents from holding office. That seems like the sort of thing the current administration would jump on if they could, as well.
