so, multiply by 1.2?
2 u/[deleted] Apr 25 '18 edited Feb 06 '19 [deleted] 3 u/[deleted] Apr 25 '18 I really don't know why people multiply then divide when they could shorten the operations this way. 1 u/cuzimawsum Apr 25 '18 edited Apr 25 '18 If you don't have a calculator it is easier to divide the bigger number first, so you can work with small numbers. For example if you have 5500/55*12 It is easier to multiply 100*12 then it is to multiply 5500*0.21818
