Hey Everyone,
My first post here. Just started studying for the GMAT and am finding this site very useful.
Wanted to share with you all a tiny trick that I learned today that's very simple.
It might be common knowledge, but I just heard about it. Goes like this:
When multiplying a two digit number by 11 you can add the values of the two digit number together and insert that value between the two digits for the answer.
43 x 11 =
[4+3] = 7
4 [insert value] 3 = 473
Looks like it only works when the combined values are less than 10 though.
