Yeah I guess highschool math went in one ear and out the other lol. If you could also remind me how you figure out percentage for my own future reference that would be great too. Thanks

Always let the original amount or the "whole" be 100%
100% represents $771.38
You want to know how many % $126.26 represents
this is 100 x 126.26/ 771.38 % ( the $ cancel)
This is going to be something like 15% (I haven't got a calculator)
Good luck

Let x be the percentage we desire, of W. Then, the formula to calculate x % of W is given by the following formula.
(x/100)*(W) = P
To solve for the percentage, all we have to do is plug in W (which I denoted for being the "whole" part) and P (which I denoted for being "part").
(x/100)*(771.38) = 126.26
Multiplying both sides by 100 to get rid of that fraction, we have
x(771.38) = 12626
Dividing both sides by 771.38, we have
x = 12626/(771.38)
This is approximately equal to
x =~ 16.37
So that's the percentage.

to find the % do as follows.
Multiply the first value by 100 and divide by the second
here 126.76*100/771.38 = 12676/771.38 =16.433%
