I'm trying to work through my tax return and am having problems remembering how to work out percentages...

Total miles travelled = 10771 (B)
Bus. miles travelled = 4955   (A)
A/B x 100 = % of costs relating to business use. (46%)

I need to know the formula for working out 46% of £3492.90

Thanks in advance,
Rich.

Divide by 100,then mulitply by 46.

£1606.73

Cheers, so
3492.90 / 100 x 46 =
£1606.73

Maths has never been my strong point, is there such a thing as number dyslexia?

Interesting to note that total cost to me was .32p for each mile travelled last year, only around 750 miles in a v6 though, mostly in either a 1.8 Vectra or a 1.1 Peugeot...

Dyscalculia

our school does actually test for it!

Bet your maths is good if they overcharge you for a pint.

I remember maths lessons at school, I'd get a funny 'twisting' sensation in my brain as I tried to get my head around what was being taught...

I'm not really a big drinker, tbh Mate...No problems working out imperial weight measurements though.

ahhh but for mr taxman, they was all done in the V8

i work out percentages by x the number by the number percentage you want to find out.

example

3492.90 x 0.46= 1606.73

Don't really make much difference as you can claim 40p per mile for the first 10,000 miles and year and then 25p per mile thereafter

Need to check the "after 10k" figure but it's 45p per mile up to 10k now

I've been stuck in a SQL query for the last 2 day, working out profit percentages at any given point in the past.

My brain hurts, and I think the query has some mega inefficiencies in it - Profiler says it does 860,000 reads to the database  .

So I know how you feel, Brikhead
