    Well I just asked my 12 year old granddaughter the OP's question and she gave me the answer in about 3 seconds (using a calculator).

    Calculator! Simple maths is done for you these days at the touch of a button. I guess kids are stumped today if the batteries ever run out :eek:

    I know the standard of some educational establishments are not up to scratch but I cannot believe that the original poster didn't know how to work it out.
    By the way it's not maths it's simple arithmetic.
