Surely you don't think supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses?
This is far too useful to be a shitpost.
Great for calculating tips!
Let's see: the bill was $138.72, so I just need 138.72% of 20. And we can subtract 100% and just add the 20 back at the end, then convert the percentage to a decimal so (.3872 * 20) + 20 = 7.744 + 20 or $27.74.
Easy!
I prefer taking 10% and doubling it for a 20% tip.
Take the total, moved the decimal one digit to the left, double it and round to the nearest dollar. I round up at the beginning and end as well which is either close enough or a dollar high if the change is small enough.
$138.72 > 139 > 13.9 > 27.8 > $28
Close enough!
I either do this, or mentally divide by 5 (how many 5s make this number?), only caring about the closest whole number - I prefer to tip in whole dollar amounts to make the math easy.
Eg. $39.53 is about $40, 40 is 8 fives, so tip $8
If the service wasn't great I round down instead of up.
I always just do 10% (easy because you move the decimal one place) and then either double that or add half of it to itself for a 15-20% tip.
For sure. Reversing the percentages here makes this far more difficult. I just felt we needed to shittify this post a little.
i just do 0. I feel like giving 20% more than agreed upon as default is crazy. I can not imagine employers giving 20% more wages just because i was doing my job? Why should i burn money?
I tip because I’ve been reliant on tips before, and I know that expecting someone who is working for tips to single-handedly solve tipping culture is unreasonable. I don’t believe in solutions that punish the poorest person in the equation, especially for a luxury like dining out.
You can already eat at places that pay a real wage to servers if you don’t want to tip.
This is probably only useful when you’re finding percentages of 50 or 100.
Yo what
Multiplication is commutative.
50% of 6 == 50/100 x 6 == (50 x 6)/100 == 50 x 6/100 == 6% of 50.
So 50% of 50 is the same as 50% of 50. Both equal 5
Both equal 5
More like 5 of these
And the other half is 0! 5 0
0! is 0.
Man math is hard
real
taking x% is just multiplying by x/100, and multiplication is commutative. x% of y is just y×x×1/100, which is the same as x×y×1/100
you can also ignore the % and divide by 100 at the end. for example, what's 5% of 5? that might take a minute to work out. what's 25/100? you instantly know it's 1/4
Percentages can be expressed as multiplication and multiplication is commutative (the order doesn't matter).
I hate math so much.
Thank you for this
To good of advice to be a shitpost
