Ever tried calculating your % share in a deal without using a calculator? It could get really messy and confusing. So here's the trick... Reverse your percentage calculations.

For example, without using a calculator, please tell me, how much is 8 % of 50?
You’re probably thinking, 8/100 x 50. Try to cancel out and then you have 8/10 x 5. Before you do 8 x 5 ÷ 10. Which gives us 4.

Now let's use the reverse percentage trick.

8% of 50 is the same as 50% of 8!
Using the reverse percentage, many of us already know 50% is equal to 1/2. So 50% of 8 is simply 1/2 x 8.
It’s exactly 4.

I didn’t use my calculator.

It holds true for all numbers. Go ahead, try a few.
80 % of 50?
30 % of 25?
In some cases it greatly simplifies the calculation or makes it easier to approximate the result.
Yes, it works with numbers greater than 100. For example, 5 % of 2000 is the same as 2000 % of 5 (20 x 5).
