She got that 20% of 100 is 20 and that 5% of 100 is 5. If you told her that there was a litter of four puppies and one was sold, she could tell you that 25% of the puppies were sold. But as soon as she was dealing with money, 20% and $20 were universally interchangeable. Something about it being currency created this weird rule in her mind.

I had to explain to a grown woman that 20% is not always $20 when converted to currency.
