      % really just means *1/100 - it doesn’t matter where you apply that factor: 6% of 50 = 6% * 50 = 6/100 * 50 = 6*50/100 = 6 * 50/100

          I was probably on a different continent ^^ Also, the biggest problem explaining math is not making it understandable, but having a motivated learner. Most students that have a bad teacher in school, or are somehow not motivated in school to begin with, will also not be motivated to focus on easier explanations. Technically a basic interest in math should be fostered / encouraged in kids from an early age, and at the latest in elementary school. If that does not work out, many students will have a hard time with it.

          You are welcome.
