    I would really like to understand more, why do you simplify 320-0.520 as (3-0.5)*20? Is this system actually insightful into arithmetic? Is there a good tutorial about such and such?

      Well, it is just arithmetics.

      The left side of the equation is just the natural expansion of the paranthesis to signify and drive home the point that we’re specifically talking half off 20.

      The middle is how it’s usually represented and follows best practices. Aka. Simplifying the equation without touching the variables and constants.

      The right side is the result for calculating the equation.

      I’m unsure of any tutorials regarding the danish counting system, though there’s bound to be some. :)

      Did I misunderstand the question?
