      No, I think we all learned that multiplication is commutative in late elementary school, and obviously that’s an important thing to know.

      But I think the original post tried to make it out to be some magical mathematical trick, and I really don’t understand that. Maybe I misunderstood the post.

      Edit: wow, “commutative” is a really hard word to spell.

          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.
