Understanding Percentages and Calculations

In this video, Professor Michele Amorim explains how to calculate percentages and demonstrates that 15% of 30 is equal to 30% of 15. She illustrates the process of multiplying the numbers and dividing by 100, showing that the order of multiplication does not affect the result. Michele also provides an example with 50% of 200 and 200% of 50, reinforcing the concept that the order of factors does not change the product.
