    it’s very often not useful. Like, what’s 6% of 80? See. Still hard.

    Also, with the 6% of 50 example it’s easy without using this trick.

    What’s 6% of 100? 6, right? So cut 100 in half to get to 50, and cut the 6 in half to get the 3. Cut the 50 in half again and cut the 3 in half again, and you’ll also know that 6% of 25 is 1.5.

    Which also lets you know that 6% of 75 is 4.5. the 3 from the 50, plus the 1.5 from the 25. or just know to split the difference between the 3 at 50 and the 6 at 100.

    A lot of math is just tricks for a thinking process.











  • Lol at trying to cop out on being wrong by claiming you were basing your answer on the pre 1963 pencil and paper game of Battleship. What’s worse is that you COULDN’T stack ships in the paper version and that the picture\meme for this post is using the boardgame.

    You’re a riot, man. People must love how right you always say you are.
