That’s because multiplication is commutative

taking a percentage of something essentially means multiplying it with a hundreath of the percentage
6% of 50 essentially means 50 * 0.06
or 50 * 6 * 0.01

and since
50 * 6 * 0.01 = 6 * 50 * 0.01
then of course
50 * 0.06 = 6 * 0.5

And we have the above

This is great. I won’t remember it when I will need it.

x/100 * y = x * 1/100 * y = x * y/100

I never would have thought of it myself and still feel like I should have thought of it myself.
