I only learned this a few months ago here on Lemmy and still don't believe it. It's magic. You think you're going to "get it" (trick it) this time, but nope! Still works somehow!

What’s funny is that if someone said (a * b) * c is the same as (c * b) * a, you’d probably say “of course it is”.

Same trick here if you show it as (4* 1/100) * 75 rewritten as (75 * 1/100) * 4.
