Percent means "per hundred": 12,5% = 12,5/100 = 0,125.
In order to subtract (-) one fraction from another, you need to find a common denominator (bottom). This is done by multiplying (*) the numerator and the denominator in a fraction by the same number:
34−56=3∗34∗3−5∗26∗2=912−1012=−112
So we get:
0,125(−1/12)2
When to fractions are multiplied together, one multiplies the numerator by numerator and denominator by denominator:
(−112)2=(112)2=1144
So we get:
0,1251/144
Multiply the numerator and the denominator by 144:
0,125∗1441=0,125∗144
