First find the fraction of the class that got B's
\n" ); document.write( "and then convert the fraction to %
\n" ); document.write( "The fraction that got B's is
\n" ); document.write( "(number of B's)/(total number that were tested)
\n" ); document.write( "\"42%2F%2810+%2B+42+%2B+15+%2B+8+%2B+2%29+=+42%2F77\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"42%2F77+=+6%2F11\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6%2F11+=+.5454\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now I want to convert this to percent
\n" ); document.write( "I know that \".5+=+50\"%
\n" ); document.write( "This is a little more that \".5\", or 54.5%
\n" ); document.write( "approximately
\n" ); document.write( "
