A useful trick for percentages.

Did you know that x% of y = y% of x?

This can make working out percentages a much easier task. For example, try to calculate 8% of 50 in your head. Not so easy right. Now flip it and instead work out 50% of 8, I think it’s clear which is easier.
Similarly, 32% of 75 may seem difficult to calculate, but 75% of 32 seems a much easier challenge
