The pixel to percentage formula is target / context = result. So for the first question, you take the target width, which is 85px, divided by the context, which is 1000px. The result is 0.085, and when converted to a percentage equals 8.5%.

For the second question, we need to think of our layout as columns inside of rows.

Third, to create three equal width columns in a 12 column row, you just take 12 and divide it by 3. So each of the three equal columns would be 4 columns wide.

ok , tanks so much jacob :D
