Don't people have calculators any more: 346 divided by 6071, then multiply by 100 or press % button. And when I was at school you weren't even allowed calculators....now that was a pig.
No is the answer. My kids ask me what a cacluator is when on their homework it says "without a calculator". People have "apps" these days. I have that old thing called a brain and a pen and paper. Still working well.
 
Ok Saintsweb again, Someone said 'Claude makalele as Puels number 2? (pure guess work)'
and K Billy posted Possibly

No idea what it all means but at least something is going on :)
 
Quite simple really. All you have to do is type: What percentage of 6071 is 346.? into Google and the top answer is a straightforward website: http://www.alcula.com/calculators/finance/percentage-calculator/

Then find the right question to put your numbers in [it's the second one] Answer: 5.69922582771 or 5.7% [<- there it is]

There you go. Even someone who can't get their head round percentages can find the answer very quickly if they use that computer thingy right in front of them. ;)

EDIT: Incidentally, I'm on 8.96%. I'm obviously not here for the likes. <devil>

ooh clever clogs...... I can get my head round percentages.....its you buggers don't understand my maths.............<laugh>
Oh mine is at this moment 5.73% I lost the other 30 odd % on the last hack into our system.........Just to show I can work percentages out at least on paper, maybe not so good when I do them in my head........<laugh>
