minus-squarestickyprimer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·21 hours agoMy brain was more like “Okay it’s just seven point-fours. So what’s seven fours? 28. What’s seven point-fours? 2.8. That can’t be right. Fuck. Get a calculator.
minus-squareqarbone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-26 hours agoI go for finding percentage factors. 4%? That’s just 1% * 4. 1% of 7 = 0.07 * 4 = 0.28 14%? That’s just 10% + 1% * 4 = 0.7 + 0.07 * 4 = 0.98 You tell me it’s decimal, then I’m gonna Decimal.

4% x 7
= 4% x 100 x 7 ÷ 100
= 4 x 7 ÷ 100
= 28 ÷ 100
= 0.28
