    Hello,

    I forgot I joined this challenge - sorry, my current debt is 3700 so I have paid off 1300, which divided by 50 (my one percent) is 26

    So I think I have paid off 26%....
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    I'm sure you would do 1300/3700 x 100 = 35% so if that's right you're doing better than you though :)

    Oh. I was working off my original debt which was 5000 but I am shocking at maths. Like it is ridiculous how bad - hence running up accidental debts!

    Sorry, in that case you're right. Misread your post.
