1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.051
A friendlier calculation. What is 8 percent of 50? Swap the

2
00:00:04.051 --> 00:00:06.997
numbers: 50 percent of 8 is much easier.

3
00:00:07.397 --> 00:00:12.727
Same multiplication. Both calculations multiply 8 by 50, then divide by

4
00:00:12.727 --> 00:00:17.572
100. The order of multiplication does not change the result.

5
00:00:17.972 --> 00:00:22.749
Try another. 16 percent of 25 equals 25 percent of 16.

6
00:00:22.749 --> 00:00:25.354
One quarter of 16 is 4.

7
00:00:25.754 --> 00:00:30.156
Know the boundary. This works for one percentage of a number.

8
00:00:30.156 --> 00:00:34.157
Successive percentage changes have different bases and need separate steps.
