Is there an equation to find what percent of 0 is 1? 2020-03-09
From Asher:
Question: Is there an equation to find what percent of 0 is 1.

I remember learning quite a long time ago that the answer inst 0 and it isn't infinity. I'm pretty sure it was something like %=0 approaching infinity or %=1 approaching infinity. And I know it depends what value you assign the numbers i.e. dollars or temperature. Furthermore, is asking "what percent 1 dollar is of 0 dollars" the same question as "what percent profit do you make from selling something worth 0 dollars for 1 dollar."

Thank you for your time and consideration -Asher
