Hi,
If there is one thing in life that I really struggle with, it's Maths. I did reasonably well at School in most other subjects, but for some reason I could not grasp Maths. I am often ashamed at my lack of ability regarding this.
I am one of these people that can work out basic figures in my head, but when it comes to percentages, I am completely lost. For example, if I paid �100 last year for something ,but today I pay �125 for the same thing, I can work out that it is a 25% increase, but If something cost me �35 last year and today it is �45, I cannot work out the % increase, even with a calculator. Please can someone advise me of the formula for working out percentages, or maybe post a link that might help me.
Many thanks.
