Hi
Which strategy is better to solve percentage type of problems?
Example:

The price of a TV is increased by 40% and then decreased by 25% of the new price?

Pick 100 or

20-25- (40*25/100)?

So the new price will mean a 105% change
not a 5% :?

It really depends what you prefer. I like the "pick 100" strategy because we all make fewer mistakes with real, whole numbers. When I'm in the midst of the stress-filled test, I want my default strategies to be the ones that minimize my chances to make mistakes.
