Multiplication is commutative dipshits.
A x B = B x A
So 1.1 x .9 is always going to be .99, regardless of the order. Didn’t we learn this in like middle school?
(Edit … to be clear I’m calling the people in the image dipshits, not the people commenting here).
Huh? We're talking about percentages not multiplication. Where'd the 1.1 and .9 come from?
