Non-calculator method for solving the 21% of 240 types.
Just find 20% which is 240/5 = 48.
Then find 1% which is 2.4 i.e divide 240 by 100
Add 48+2.4=50.4
A similar method for 2% and 3%
Hope this helps.

Your mental math(math on head) is quite superb. I used to do this. But it lead me to some careless errors while doing it on my head. So i try to make everything on paper. But practice makes it perfect is true in your case i think. Your videos are awesome. Your accent is neat and clear.
My trick: ( 15% of 200) = (10% + 5%) = 20+10=30 . This trick works well to approximate

Hey man, just found your channel, I’ve got my exam day after tomorrow. Tbh I know it’s a failed cause, wish that YouTube algorithm got me to a bit sooner, I might’ve been happy, but continue the good work! I’ll make sure the second attempt is top class!
