Have you tried using a calculator?

I’m fairness, a calculator wouldn’t explain how to get there. An LLM might not explain it correctly, but it will explain it.

WolframAlpha will do the right math, and walk you through it (though IIRC you have to pay for that part).

Pretty sure I am using the free version, or if I paid it was a one time thing and long ago but it will walk you thru at least some problems. Example:

If that’s WolframAlpha Classic, you probably paid for it a decade ago like I did.

So a calculator is more valuable, then.
