Decoding Percentage Problems: A Lesson in Distribution

'What's the difference between 82.1% of 954 and 92.1% of 954?' is a great percentage problem that reveals percentages are often really multiplication, and multiplication is distributive. That is, it's not just a simple percentage calculation, but a lesson in distribution.

We begin by converting these percentages into their decimal counterparts and set up the equation: 0.921 * 954 - 0.821 * 954. The twist comes when we apply the distributive property, turning the equation into 954 * (0.921 - 0.821). That makes our final calculation 954 * (0.10), which means this difference really comes down to finding 10% of 954.

Problems like this are an excellent reminder that seemingly complex calculations can often have elegant simplifications.

There difference is just 10% so 10% of 954 = 95.4

The difference is 10% so 95.4. some math problems don't require thought

The total should’ve been different so your lesson could be more clear otherwise, you could’ve just used 100 as a total to get your point across. The difference is ten percent. There’s no need for extra steps. In the real world, you use the least amount of steps possible. This is why people quit math after algebra

It's just common sense though. There is no trick here.

This is the opposite of distributing. For 954(.921-.821) you distribute the 954 to the .921 and the .821 not the other way around.
