The challenge starts out like this:
.cake {
background-color: #f8748f;
width: 85.714285714%; /*600px*/
margin: 1.428571429%;
padding: 10px;
}
So then I divide 10 by 600 (0.01666666666) , and then move the decimal point (0.1666666666). Then I add the percent mark. It then says there is a problem with my calculations. Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? I tried to figure it out on my own, but it didn't work. I looked at all the forum discussions before I posted this. Thank you so much!
