No-o-o-o-o! See that little "e-4" thingy? It means you have to move the decimal point four spaces to the left to get the fraction. (.000152415485) And then two spaces back again to the right to get percent. (.0152415485 %) Then you can subtract it from 100%. (99.9847585 %)
Yeah, I made a mistake once. I thought I was wrong, when I actually wasn't. -Indignant
