document.write( "Can you please show me which formula to use, as well as explaining it step by step including the answer.. Admittedly, I'm not a student, I was and am just horrible at math. I travel a lot, so I'd like to know which formula I can use, the steps involved in figuring it out, and also showing how to check my work, to know that it's correct. I really wish I could understand simple formulas and equations.. With your help, I'm confident that it will help conquer my fear with math so that when my daughter gets older and brings her algebra home, I'll be able to help her (while actually knowing what I'm talking about)!!
