Yes, prudie's suggestion will also work. There is a direct equivalence between percentages and fractions and decimals, which works in the following way. 10% really just means "10 per 100", or "10 divided by 100". Thus all percentages can instantly by converted into a fraction by taking the number that's the given percentage, and writing it instead as a...

I am fully capable of doing admin work from home, although i do not see the relevance of this question to my previous posts.
I am not ashamed to ask for help, thank you not so much for your negative, mean comments retrochic, it just makes me reluctant to ask on here again!
I appreciate the answers every one else gave me. I have a GCSE maths book here and have been working on that, and when i tried to play around on excel i couldn't do it, so i asked, like any normal person would do.
I would not accept work if i wasn't capable. Thank you not so much to Baldric, for also being so negative also.
Many thanks to prudie, jim, old geezer, i put my hands up i am rubbish at maths, but we cant all be good at everything. xx

Agree on the excel and word courses, though having basic maths in the brain helps tee up the formulas before learning how to do things like replicate on excel. My youngest could do that age 6 but then she was multiplying (with the logic tied down) at age 4 -'seven groups of five is.....' Age 11 and its differentiation and calculus that she is taking on. Beats me hands down.
Phleb, things like Powerpoint are valuable too.

Being able to use MS Excel is pretty much a given for anyone working in Admin. You have asked a couple of questions that reveal you are not at all au fait with the programme.
It would be a very good idea to improve your skills in MS Office before you start selling yourself as an Admin Professional.
If you want to sell your skills you really need to have a benchmark, what courses have you taken to add to your CV to demonstrate your competency?

Phleb, you carry on and ignore the detractors. Lots of people are not confident with numbers and rather than just plod on blindly you knew it was wrong and asked for guidance, that's how people get better at things. Himself is very well educated but can't spell for toffee, I'm rubbish at some aspects of grammar and my eight times table is laughable. Four of my kids are fabulous at maths (two are outstanding) but one is completely hopeless - we are all different but recognising when we can't do something is a valuable attribute.
Phleb - I was proofreading an article for a magazine the other day, and there were some glaring punctuation errors which I wanted to rectify. I was told by the person with whom I was working that "Mr X wrote that article, and he's been to university, so I wouldn't presume to correct his writing". Pfft - being an academic and extremely clever in your chosen discipline doesn't mean that he's good at basic stuff!
Have you got a Pitmans Centre near to you? They run some good short office courses on topics like the Microsoft applications, which could be really helpful to you - or your local FE college probably does short IT courses too.

Why do we need to reassure people by dissing the intelligent? There are plenty of intelligent people who are also very well-rounded...
