        Meanwhile im the idiot thats like “uh 10% of 75 is 7.5, half it for 5% of 75 is 3.75, 1% of 75 is .75, so its probably 3?”

        Lets pray thats one of the options on the multiple choice. Oh the professor wants me to show my math? Well lets hope he’s open to me being an abstract dumbass that is capable of getting the right answer.

          If the professor is actually a professor and not a teacher, they probably appreciate your line of thinking

        Yes, but then I have to do 4 x 75 = 50 + 25 + 50 + 25 + 50 + 25 + 50 + 25 = 50 + 50 + 50 + 50 + 25 + 25 + 25 + 25 = 200 + 100 = 300 in that same order because non-maths brain.
