I'm somewhat naive about vocabulary and explanations from the dictionary. I looked up "hitherto", but the definition and example setence wasn't very clear and I still don't fully understand it.

Can someone explain hitherto is clearer words (different from the dictionary) and perhaps give me a simple sentence that contains the word hitherto? Thanks. >.~

the price of a $1.50 candy bar is to be increased by 20%.... what is the new price?

I know the answer but do not understand the steps of figuring it out... this is what I do understand multiply the price by 20% so $1.50x 20 over 100 but this is where I get lost... what do I do to get the answer of .30 and the outcome comes to $1.80 I am very serious... so please if you can explain to me this process I will have a better understanding for the accuplacer test I need to take.

On the Clark Howard show, he recently mentioned that 10% of universities are currently instituting a "life studies" course as a REQUIREMENT for all their degrees. In this course it teaches students how to properly maintain their debt, how to balance a checkbook, how to build credit and maintain it, how to rebuild credit after it becomes bad, the best ways to look for a new career, etc. Basically all the best information a college graduate would need before going out there into the real world. On top of that, a requirement within the class is to prepare a will.

Now doesn't that class sound like one of the most important classes any student can take. Wouldn't you rather have that as a required class for your degree instead of "English Composition II" or "Sociology"? I'm surprised it's currently only offered at around 10% of the universities out there.

My niece is almost 3 (next month) and she shows MANY signs of delay, from motor delay to language and speech delay. She also seems to have poor cognitive function. The thing is, my sister was so proud of the fact that she never ever crawled. Someone told me that there is a link between not having crawled and having some delays. Is there a link? And how the heck do I approach my sister (who is NOT the nicest person) about my niece whom I adore and want to see get the help she deserves?

I need to know the proper GPA to percent and percent to GPA conversion.

A Google search reveals:
http://www.cascadia.ctc.edu/Faculty/dwhittaker/percent2gpa.htm

Another website says GPA is Your Aggregate/Highest Aggregate in the Class.

There are 2 different methods of calculation given in the Yahoo Answers.

Wikipedia also has a different conversion.

So now I want to know, which is the right one?
