How about Math on a Friday?

[via Mental Math Shortcuts]

a% of b = b% of a

• It’s not immediately clear, but it’s true: a% of b = a/100 * b, which is the same as b% of a (b/100 * a).
• What’s 16% of 25? The same as 25% of 16: 4
• What’s 43% of 200? Same as 200% of 43: 86.

Can’t say I thought of that? Come to think of it, I can tell you what 200% of 43 is of the top of my head, but not 43% of 200!!
