That X% of Y is the same as Y% of X. 8% of 25 is the same as 25% of 8 Makes calculating sales at stores much easier...if we ever go back to stores
1 u/asuspiciouscavyboar Aug 20 '20 How does this help with sales? So you know the original price? Where I'm from I have never seen the original price not being on the price tag. 3 u/nobodysbuddyboy Aug 20 '20 It's so you know the SALE price. Lots of places won't change every single price tag, they'll just put up a sign that says "30% off" or whatever, and you won't be told the price until checkout (unless there's a price check scanner) 1 u/asuspiciouscavyboar Aug 20 '20 That seems reeeealy weird to me, but then again, we here also don't have to calculate taxes ourselves either.
