Re: [LUG] LaTeX - can someone help please

 

Hi Paul,

The "$" symbol in Latex is used when you want to insert a mathematical 
symbols such as your subscripts' with the chemical symbols.  However it also 
needs to be used for inserting the special mathematical symbols for 'times' 
and 'divide' so the line should read;

16 $\div$ 18 $\times$ 100 = 88.2 percent
