Yes, we are all in agreement :)

Bertie's method works :)

It works in base ten and all other bases as well. :)

The other two methods also work well and if it was going to be taught at school I would use #2 guests method because it is easiest to understand.

In order to understand Chris's or my own reasoning demonstration of Bertie's method you need to understand #2 method.

The #2 guest's method brings the problem down to a basic conceptual knowledge of place value.

Hi HeatherFeather, we have not seen you in ages.

It has been so long that I am using your 'Heather of the Future' name     

Happy New Year KatieLeigh  

It is the circumference of a circle divided by its diameter.

This number is always the same.

It is called pi and it is an irrational number that is approximately equal to 3.14159

Hi Solveit  

I think it is supposed to be "uniform prism"

It still does not have any truely mathematical meaning I don't think but I would take it to mean a right prism.

One where the front is at right angles to each side.  One that looks 'uniform'.

It was 100%

It went up by 4%

So now it is 104%

27 = 100% how much % is 17?

\(x\% \;of\;27=17\\ \frac{x}{100} \;\times\;27=17\\ \frac{x}{100}=\frac{17}{27}\\ x=\frac{17}{27}\times 100\\ x\approx 62.96\% \)

check

62.97/100*27 = 17.0019     near enough :)

Thanks Bertie,

I think it is better now ?

Excellent answer Dragonlance but don't forget your units.

I know there are none in the question but you should add units and units³  anyway
