\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "Might recommend for these kinds of questions...
\n" );
document.write( "a) assign 'x' to the \"of what\", for organization purposes in Your mind
\n" );
document.write( "b) mutiply by 100 to \"move decimal point \"over two spots\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "For example:
\n" );
document.write( "What percent of 12 is 2?      x = 2/12*100 = 16.7%
\n" );
document.write( "82 is 71% of what?          .71*x = 82    |x = 82/.71 = 115.5
\n" );
document.write( "15% of what number is 250?   .15*x = 250  |x = 250/.15 = 1666.7
\n" );
document.write( "Also recomend always being senstive to the required answer form 
\n" );
document.write( "for ex, to the nearest whole number, tenth, hundredth.. 
\n" );
document.write( "As the question did not say, answers given here are to the nearest tenth.
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
