Mistake in a BTGMAT Flashcard ?

by pagalmes » Sat Jan 30, 2010 1:18 am
I think I noticed a flashcard in Beat The GMAT flashcards (https://www.beatthegmat.com/mba/free-gma ... flashcards).
In Quant>General, in a flashcard name "Percentage" is written:

"to drop a percent, divide by 100%: 1/2% * 1/100 = 1/20,000"

I would say that:

1/2% = 1/2 * 1/100 = 1/200

Am I wrong? To whom should I send this message to get it corrected?
