1% of 33 is .33
.33 × 7 =
.3 x 7 = 2.1
.03 x 7 = .21
21 + 2.1 = 2.31
So
7% of 33 = 2.31
You could also do
33% of 7
10% of 7 is .7
1% of 7 is .07
So 11% is .77
.77 × 3 =
.7 × 3 = 2.1
.07 × 3 = .21
2.1 + .21 = 2.31
That's pretty damned intensive for a trick that's supposed to make the maths easier.
Who said math will be ever easy?
