'Have a degree in Applied Mathematics and never knew that'
Every so often a lifehack comes along that’s so simple you wonder how you never knew about it before.
One such hack is currently setting Twitter alight and it involves an easy way of working out percentages. Copywriter Ben Stephens posted that x% of y is the same as y% of x. As in, 4% of 75 is the same as 75% of 4. And judging by the 5,000 retweets and 14,000 likes – not many people were aware of this fact.Have a degree in Applied Mathematics and never knew that. 🤔I'm really quite cross that this was NEVER taught in my maths class.
