....I mean, yeah? If the number is 50 or 10 that works out great. But let's try that with 7% of 13. Now it's 13% of 7. Just like you said, "much easier to calculate."

Okay, choosing prime numbers was intentionally mean on my part. But 3% of 9 becomes 9% of 3. 4% of 2 becomes 2% of 4. Can anyone honestly look me in the eye and tell me that this tip has helped them out in any meaningful way?

x% × y = x × y ÷ 100 This helps you out much more.
