In a rush at a kirana store? Use these Indian "jugaad" tricks for quick mental math:
- The 10% Rule: To find 10% of any number, just move the decimal point one place to the left. (10% of 450 is 45).
- Finding 5%: Find 10% and then divide it by 2. (5% of 450 is 45/2 = 22.5).
- Finding 1%: Move the decimal point two places to the left. (1% of 450 is 4.5).
- The Reverse Property: x% of y is the same as y% of x. Need 8% of 50? It's easier to calculate 50% of 8, which is 4!
