In the following examples, see if you can pick out the whole (the bold should help).

a) I paid $20 tax and I earned $100. ======> tax/whole(i)=20/100=20%.

b) I paid $20 tax and I kept $80.======> tax/whole(e)=20/80 =25%.

LOL!

Let's see, you paid $20 , kept $80 ("the whole" LOL)...

(you say) $80 is the whole....Where did you get the $20?...."kept" $80 (the whole? LOL) from what?

Using your twisted logic. If $20 paid = 25% where is the other 75%? Or is your $80 (80%) the remaining 75%?....Oh wait 80 is "the whole" or 100%

LOL! If you want me to find the whole in that mess you'll have to put some hair around it.

You're dumber than I thought. You don't understand the whole can be with the tax paid or without it.

You don't even understand this well enough to ask a question that makes sense.

There are only about 5 posters even viewing this thread anymore - too bad. The inclusive/exclusive has been well explained several times. You really must be too dumb to get it. Did you graduate public school?
