This percentages hack has been melting brains all over again and it’s a lesson well learned
We always struggled with percentages, even when we had a calculator because we could never work out how to make the % button work.
But now none of it matters – any of it. Because now we’ve got this and it doesn’t matter if we’ve got a calculator or whether we’ve learned to use that stupid button yet.
Because we can do this instead, a percentages hack that’s gone viral, and not for the first time (you might already be aware).

Why indeed?!
So math is easy? Our teachers didn’t know how to teach

To be fair, I’m not sure there’s a similar hack for quadratic equations.
This isn’t a hack but just obvious math if you understand that percentages are decimals. 20% of 160 = .2 x 160 = 32.
