Every day is a school day! I'm 69 and hated maths at school, come to think of it I hated school. It's never too late to learn. Cheers.

[@Grejegando]

I can totally relate. I'm 43 and I never liked school. Incompetent teachers, useless subjects rarely anyone has interest in, and the lack of practical applications/experiments to spark interest in a given subject. I believe I'm a lot more intelligent today than I was back then. I never liked history, geography, or biology, but have tons of interest in psychology, quantum physics, and astrology. Chemistry, on the other hand, seemed like rocket science back then, however, I self-studied parts of it 5 years ago and found it to be fairly simple. It's amazing how the education system isn't really educating most of us, but seems to be more about discipline, obedience, and following rules. It's more of a brain-conditioning institution than anything else. Creativity has no room there, memorization is celebrated and rewarded, just as if that's what Tesla and Einstein did.

[@joshuaperry4112]

With values closer to common numbers; 50%,75%, etc. It's easier to start with that value and work down. So, for example. 45% of 22. Well, 50% is 11. therefor 5% is 1/10 of that, or 1.1 . So 11-1.1=9.9 A harder example: 21.4% of 49. OK, so 20% is double 10% - so 4.9x2= 9.8 (if you can't do that, then 2x5=10, subtract .2) 1% is 1/10 of 10%, so it's 4.9/10, or .49. .4% is 4/10 of 1%, or 4x1/10 of 1%. so .049, double is .098, double that is .196. 9.800+.490+.196=10.486 Break the number into figures that are easier for you: maybe you do 21.5% and take .1% out, or maybe 22% and take .6 out.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

Several years back in one of my classes one of the students was lamenting that it was difficult to learn math. I began explaining the construction of math textbooks. While I was discussing this a math major was nodding in approval all the while. Suffice it to say that math textbooks are not constructed is a sequential pattern. I read of a math teacher in Texas who wrote a textbook in a sequential order (Chapter 1 presented a concept; chapter 2 expanded on it; chapter 3 completed the discussion). Thing is, he couldn't get the book published. Why? Math teachers don't teach in that order. They don't teach these tricks because they never learned them because of the way they were taught. This disjointed pattern naturally restricts finding little tricks that make learning math easier.

The Easiest way is to determine what 10% is, Simply by Moving Decimal Point, Then if its 40% , Multiple that by 4. If it is 45% then add 1/2 of the 10% to that. Example 45% of 180. 10% is 18 4 x 18 is 72 5% of 18 is 9 72 + 9 = 81 Quick Logic chk, 50% of 180 = 90.

The math teachers weren't taught this way. So, that is not how they teach it.

[@paulrounding5260]

I was taught myself this way 50 odd years ago, no tinternet then.

[@phlotographer]

@@paulrounding5260 learned to do this before grade five which was over 65 years ago. I do my restaurant bills that have HST of 13% all the time by using 15% and subtracting 2%. For the tip -- 15% of the cost of the restaurant prior to the HST. Oh, another way of doing the 15 x 13 --- memorize that 15 squared is 225 and then subtract 2 of the 15's or 30 and one is back to 195. Another useful square is 25 squared = 625. I used to know a lot more squares but did not find them useful very often so the HDD in my head became full and I had to uninstall some things and they were the first to go. The worst thing is that many math puzzles totally stump me but arithmetic is decent.

Because teachers of schools don't really know this concept themselves. This concept may have been invented in the later years
