well, think of it this way: you are now 155th of the way towards 755, or 155/755 (same as 155 divided by 755), which equals...0.2052, which when multiplied by 100 will give you percentage, so you are about 20.5% toward your goal.... or, as a fraction, this could be expressed by finding common factors (5 goes into each of the above), so 155 divided by 5 = 31 in the numerator, and 755 divided by 5 = 151 in the denominator, so you have 31/151 0;>)
good luck
