Now I was in math today and we had a pop quiz pre test on percents! SO when I was doing the problems I imagined I had a spell with such and such % accuracy then a buff either added or subtracted percents! I was the only one that got an A on the test and now I have a A+ in Math thanks Wizard 101!
(Also My professor Moolinda Wu a almost all the problems had 90% being added and subtracted and almost all Life Spells are 90% accuracy!)

Glad that it helped you. I don't know how your school teaches it but let me help you a little bit as well. The way I always did it was to think of it like this!

100% = 1
50% = .50
1% = .01

Then when you convert the percentage to a decimal just do the math.

For example ( and I know this is easy but it is an example )

( 100% of 5 = y ) so ( 1 x 5 = 5 )

( 50% of 5 = x ) so ( .50 x 5 = 2.50 )

( 1% of 5 = z ) so ( .01 x 5 = .05 )

This always helped me and these three examples should allow you to be able to convert any percentage (%) into a decimal and then just multiply to find your answer.
If you have any other problems with math Post another message. I would love nothing more then to help you. Maybe even if Wizard101 wouldn't mind creating a homework thread with each subject under it and everyone can work together to teach!
Oh yea and LIFE DOES ROCK!!
