I am having trouble in the last quiz of this section. It asks me to convert the padding of 10px to percentage. According to what I have learned here the formula is Target/Context = Result. The target is 10px, the context is 700px, which equals 0.0142857142857143. I carry the point over two places to the right and the result would be 1.42857142857143. However it says that it is wrong. I have enter the following values and it still says the answer is wrong. 0.0142857142857143, 1.42857142857143 1.428571428 , 1.428571429.

Not sure if you finally got this one, but if not… when figuring out context of margin, we look to the parent for that (which I believe is the 700px you're referring to [for icing?]). Padding, though is internal so you'd be looking to derive context from the same element you're applying the change to (which I believe is the .cake class). So use that .cake class width as your context.
