Fraction or percent for the same share

Part of: Math as a Language

Calculator for math notation: enter the expression or equation you already wrote.

Using the tool

Read Math as a Language, then type what is on your paper. Parentheses and units are the usual sources of mismatch.

Change one input

Change one input at a time. If the output jumps more than you expected, that input was doing more work in the expression than you thought.

Parentheses

Write 3(x + 2) on paper. Enter it with parentheses so the tool multiplies 3 by the whole sum, not only by x.
