document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    - first find the difference,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    - then relate it to the base value, which is 6.26 meters in this case,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    - and then multiply this ratio by 100 to get the percentage.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "By knowing the rule, make all these calcs in one line\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
