Just remember that algebra can get you in trouble. Here's a case in point:

let a=b

Multiply both sides by "a"
--> a*a = a*b

Add "a*a" to both sides
--> a*a + a*a = a*a + a*b

Gather like terms on left side
--> 2*a*a = a*a + a*b

Subtract "2*a*b" from both sides
--> 2*a*a - 2*a*b = a*a + a*b - 2*a*b

Gather like terms
--> 2(a*a - a*b) = a*a - a*b

Divide both sides by "a*a - a*b"
--> 2(a*a - a*b)/(a*a - a*b) = (a*a - a*b)/(a*a - a*b)

Reduce both sides thereby proving that 2 = 1 ..... oops

Just get yourself one of these and do what the rest of who live in the 21st century and let the computer do the math
Mine has worked great for the past 2 years.

But algebra can also yeild accurate results.... case in point:

time = money
money = sqrt(evil) [money is the root of evil]

Girls = (time) x (money)
since time = money ---> Girls = (money) * (money), so
Girls = (money)^2

now, substituting again, we get
Girls = (sqrt(evil))^2

Finally, by simplifying, we get:
Girls = evil

AMARTINSON is correct, if you want to carry it to extremes the number is 94.594594595%
