You could also do 6*50 and then divide by 100.

    In the meme example you wouldn't, but if you were trying to figure out Something like 2% of 5, it's easier to do (2 * 5)/100=0.1 then to do .02 * 5 or .05 * 2.

    My comment was mainly pointing out that you can multiply those numbers in whatever order you want.
