I so agree! I learned this in grade school. Must have been those nuns with their rulers that made it stick.

I don’t get tip calculators either. Makes me wonder how people can get through a day if they can’t do simple math.

I am appalled that anyone had to be told how to do this. You should have learned it in elementary school. In fact, you should be able to do it in your head closely enough.

If you think tip calculators are sad, check out this app on Mobihand which, for only $5 will tell you your PIN number and name!

It is indeed a sad commentary on the state if our education system today that people don’t know BASIC mathematics like calculating a percentage. Either that or people are just plain lazy…
