I'm an engineer by training which includes a lot of higher math training. Also have been running my own company for years. But still learned this basic stuff way later. This is something that should taught in school.

... you got an engineering degree not knowing basic percentages and fractions?

... isn't this taught in schools? I definitely learned it before age 12
