00:01 So we're looking at a percentage formula where p is the percentage.
00:07 And we want to know when, what years will, when we put a year in here, when will that make this side greater than 63%.
00:20 So i want to put 63 in here.

00:45 I'm going to get 63 minus 25 .8, 37 .2.
00:51 And now i'll divide 3 .1 on both sides.
00:55 3 .1...
