Oh, that is actually much more helpful. So, if you know your times tables, you can do percentages. You just have to use communitavatization.

Jokes aside, I really appreciate it. That made it much more easier to understand. Thank you.

You're welcome! Glad I could give you an a-ha moment.

Having an intuitive feel for tricks like using the definition of operators or symbols to make your life (well, calculations at least) easier usually means that you either have to just be "naturally" talented at math which is really rare, or you've just had to grind grind grind math at eg. university, work or whatever. So unless someone was taught that above trick and they actually remember it from school, they might never come to think that "hmm % just means / 100 so that can make this easier to figure out in my head".
