775 X .0765 = 59.23

775 - 59.23 = 715.77

They put the answers in the book to make you crazy.

I agree math can be hard. Least there the rules don't change. Too bad that life is not more like math.

Memorize the formulas and it will get easier. When you see a % sign always move the decimal to the left the two zero's and it is much clearer. Also remembering to line up the decimiles when doing it on paper. Calculators don't let you visualize the process.

If you ask your teacher often they have tutoring videos that are a big help. Good Luck.

math is evil and should be destroyed. the weird thing is, half that crap they teach you, you'll never need it later.
