Surprised how many people don’t know this. I suspect it is because people forget that percent literally means per 100 or /100 and the of is standing in for multiplication. So 6% of 50 is 6/100 * 50 or 6 * 50 * 1/100

6% of 36 is 0.06 * 6². 6³ = 216 so 2.16
There is no ‘M’ or ‘O’ in the statement “six percent of fifty” There also is no exponentiation so I have no idea what you are on about
