JeffTargetTestPrep Thanks so much for your great answers on the forum. Quick question. I unfailingly am able to correctly set up these equations, but I end up struggling to solve 460/1.15 for example. I have tried resetting it up as 400 * 100/115 and simplifying, but I always find it challenging. Do you have any tricks to help solve dividing a large number by 1.something?
