Why YSK: It helps when calculating percentages. If you want to find out what 2% of 20 is, do 20% of 2 instead and you’ll get 0.4. So, 2% of 20 also equals 0.4.

Or, 12% of 25 can be alternatively written out as 25% of 12 instead, which would be 3.

Explanation: Commutative Property. So, 0.07 times 50 will always equal 50 times 0.07

    I don’t see how that explanation makes sense. It’s not showing the same thing.

    The example in the title is saying .50 times 7 is equal to .07 times 50 which is not just changing the order like in your explanation.
