Simple(ish) maths question!?
I haven't done maths for a while and I've forgotten how to do simple percentages! :(
Can someone please explain how to do the following problem (I've made it up, just so I can see how a similar question would be done).
England 5678
N. Ireland 34930
Wales 573
Scotland 8937
What percentage of money does Scotland hold in the UK?
Thank you!

First of all you have to interpret it as a fraction. So like :
Money of scotland
--------------------------
Money of entire UK
This would be 8937 / (8937+573+34930+5678)
Which will equal a fraction, which will be between 0 and 1. In this case 0.180....
Now all you do, is multiply by 100, so in this case 18%
Hope you understood this :D

Eh... neither... yet i assume i'm going to compliment English. I used to love English extra yet extreme college made it uninteresting. -_- yet I nevertheless love writing as a interest (and hate math, even however i'm no longer undesirable at it) so i'm going to easily say English.
