the quicker way to do calculations like these is by calculating the error 3*5=15, then subtract from 100 to get 85

Interesting how everyone does it different. Because 5x20=100 I knew doing 5x17 would give me my answer. To do 5x17, I split that into (5 x 10 = 50) + (5 x 7 = 35) = 85. All those sub-tasks I could basically do instantly by memory. So I guess the main thing is being able to divide a problem into easier steps.

Jeff having it at 17x5 and then still selecting none of these 😂

Lmao you literally can just divide each number by 2. 8.5/10 which therefore is 85%.

20 x 5 = 100% 17 x 5 = 85 %

The way I learned it in grade school, you divide 17 by 20 and get .85 - there's your answer.

100/20 is 5 -> each point is worth 5 20-17 is 3 3*5 is 15 100-15=85 no big numbers, no hard math

3 x 5 is 15. 100-15 = 85. do it the easy way folks.

essentially, what we are doing is: 17 : 20 x : 100 the use the criss cross method, x * 20 = 17 *100 20x = 1700 x = 1700/20 or 170/2 which becomes 85 hope this was helpful

Call me an old man but this literally takes about 1.5 seconds to just say. If your brain isn't finishing up 17 x 5 in 1 second and your mouth needs another half - then 'education' of millennials is truly worse then we all feared.

Im dumb. Just did 10% of 20 is 2. So 17/2 is even 80% and then add the 5% leftover from the remaining 1 I know that's not the right way to do it, but I got there

Lowe is the biggest loser of this, Smokes did hot laps around him holy shit.

This is second grade math

17/2 = 8.5. 8.5 out of 10 is 85%.

Jeff Lowe knew what to do and still got it wrong 🤣

The true easiest way to do this is to just divide 17 by 2. Multiplying it by 5 is harder than dividing by 2 and moving the decimal point

If this takes you longer than 10 seconds to answer you have a sub 100 IQ.

I just cut it in half. 17/20 = 8.5/10 = 85%

To be fair barstool employs a lower iq staff in general

17 divided by 20

Jeff D Lowe being a total moron was surprising.

To scale from [0,20] to [0,100], you multiply by five (100/20 = 5). 17*5 = 10*5 + 7*5 = 50 + 35 = 85

Monumental sas W. Jeff d lowe surprising retard. Good vid

I learnt it this way back in school You just divide 17 by 20 and get .85. Then you have your answer. Quite easy

MULTIPLY BY FIVE OMFG!!!!!

WTF is that math Jeff Lowe is doing? 32-34-62. Then collapses.

I don't know how the kids are learning it these days, but my brain thinks: 1/20 is 5% because 100/20=5 3 of those for 3/20 is 15% take that away from 100% for 17 out of 20 and it's 85%

this can't be real if you did not immediately know the answer in 1-2 seconds you're fucking retarded and should not procreate

10x5 + 7x5

C

i cut 20 in half and made 10. Did the same with 17 and got 8.5 = 85%

Jeff D LowIQ

Who doesn’t know it is 85%? Yet these block heads are quick to insult and bully other people
