You're too funny! I would tell them about it, not actually show them the site. Unless I want to answer um, lots of questions unrelated to math 😀...

Mommyg8, no insult intended! You did fine. I understood your explanation. It's really, really hard to teach math over the phone or on the computer.

Mommyg8, math teachers can't help but chime in on a math thread. Makes us feel useful. We're very accustomed to people saying to us "I hate math" and "when will this ever be used in real life?"

I thought your explanation was fine and I understood what you were saying. Also, groisamomma wasn't commenting on your grasp of math, but more that that explanation needs to be used for people who don't have that intuitive grasp. That's what you were doing for the benefit of everyone else on the thread.

You solve the equation .02X=200. You are saying that 2 percent of what number is 200. X will be your yearly earnings
