2064.0. "% help" by POLAR::BUCCIONE () Thu Sep 12 1996 09:12

    I got 147 chips, 8 of them failed. If I want to calculate the perceantage of
    the failures how I do that?
    
    I was never was good in mathematic.
    
    :-)

	Hmmm.  "how do I do that [calculate percentages]"?  5.4421%
        So if 9 of the chips failed?  5.4421%  If they all failed?
        5.4421%  Doesn't seem right to me. :-)
