4% x 7

= 4% x 100 x 7 ÷ 100

= 4 x 7 ÷ 100

= 28 ÷ 100

= 0.28

    My brain was more like “Okay it’s just seven point-fours. So what’s seven fours? 28. What’s seven point-fours? 2.8. That can’t be right. Fuck. Get a calculator.

    I go for finding percentage factors.

    4%? That's just 1% * 4. 1% of 7 = 0.07 * 4 = 0.28

    14%? That's just 10% + 1% * 4 = 0.7 + 0.07 * 4 = 0.98

    You tell me it's decimal, then I'm gonna Decimal.
