Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the rule of three?+

It is the same mathematical idea, presented here in a more direct way for immediate cross-product calculation.

Which value is being solved?+

The calculator solves X in the relationship A corresponds to B, therefore C corresponds to X.

Why can't A be equal to 0?+

The formula divides by A. Division by 0 is impossible, so that value is rejected.

Can this be used for percentages?+

Yes, cross-multiplication is often useful for finding a proportional value or a percentage.
