no math really required. Take a sharpie and make a small mark somewere on the glass that only you can see 1/2 way down the glass, then between the top of the tank to your first mark make another mark, repeat again and you will basically have your settings for water changes. 50%,25%,12.5% that should work for you. I am good in math but I did it to my tank and it keeps me from having to think about it everytime I do a water change..
