      My brain was more like “Okay it’s just seven point-fours. So what’s seven fours? 28. What’s seven point-fours? 2.8. That can’t be right. Fuck. Get a calculator.

        I go for finding percentage factors.

        4%? That’s just 1% * 4. 1% of 7 = 0.07 * 4 = 0.28

        14%? That’s just 10% + 1% * 4 = 0.7 + 0.07 * 4 = 0.98

        You tell it’s decimal, then I’m gonna Decimal.
