Who wouldve thought that damn fractions and percentages would come and mess me up in University.

DAMNNNNNNNN Does anyone wanna actually help me out here? Cause I'm so confused as to how my lecture got one answer while I got another.
Anyways so this is the lectures question and answer.
32006/(296222 + 371410) x 0.5 x 100 = %9.58

HOWWWWWWWW I KEEP GETTING the answer '2.39'
