Using .cake as your context, convert the width of .filling from pixels to percentages (using the comments as a guide).

my code:

  .icing {
    background-color: #B4C34F;
    width: 100%; /*800px*/
    padding: 10px;
  }
  .cake {
    background-color: #f8748f;
    width: 80%; /*640px*/
    margin: 1.25%;
    padding: 10px;
  }
  .filling {
    background-color: #4FB69F;
    width: 75%; /*480px*/
    margin: 10px;
    padding: 10px;
   }

Hi Lyric,

Your percentages are all correct. However, you have padding and margin on your elements which don't show up in the challenge.

Also, the pixels listed in the comments are different from the link you gave.
