First, let’s admit the obvious. Your brain might scream, “Wait, I’m dividing by a percentage? That’s like dividing a pizza by a slice!” But here’s the secret: percentages are just sneaky decimals in disguise. Remember, a percentage is always a number out of 100. So when you see 25%, it’s really the same as 0.25.
Why does this matter? Because dividing by a fraction (like a percentage) actually increases the number. It’s the opposite of what you’d think—kind of like how putting on pajamas somehow makes you more productive on a lazy Sunday. Weird, but true!
