DS is in Year 6 and says this question came up in class today. Now I know that ....
0.6 x 300 = 180
0.6 of 300 = 180
60% of 300 = 180
... but I've never seen it expressed as 60% x 300 before. His teacher says the answer is still 180 (as opposed to 18000% which is what most of them intuitively put in their answer, and probably what I would have put). She also said that this is a new question format they will need to get used to with the new curriculum.
Can any other maths teachers confirm this?
