  • Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.

    Net               X
    ------    =    ------
    Gross            100
    
    
    (GrossX) = (Net × 100)
    
    GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X
    
    Example;
    
    200             X
    ------    =   -------
    250            100
    
    Step A
    200 × 100 = 20000
    
    Now 250X = 20000
    
    Step B
    20000÷250=80
    
    Therefore X=80
    Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.
    

    It’s also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.













  • Switch to 2x4, make sure the ones on the bottom (known as ‘runners’) are standing on edge. Then use 3" coarse thread screws to attach the slats. We build them like that at my workplace to ship and store drums of material that are 1600 - 8000 lbs per pallet. So unless your machines are more then 2000lbs per square foot, you should be fine. The important part is to mark the center of gravity, NOT the center of the machine. As long as the pallet is lifted at CoG, it should move around just fine.
