Lol you don't need to guess just use 2.5% as the value! Computers aren't dumb, they are actually pretty clever :)

2.5% in CSS means the value would use 2.5% of the bowser width.

Good luck!

I did is not working !

You can't say "2.5px"! You must say "2.5%"!

Occasionally you'll also have an issue where you add up widths to 100%, but the browser seems to add a little extra.

It's often because of white space around your HTML. Try removing the spaces between the HTML tags, or just lowering the percentage by a tiny bit.
