I prefer to keep it technically correct yet evil and confusing. 6% being a fancy way to write 0.06 or 6 * 1/100 means we can take 6 * 50 * 1/100 and simplify to 300 * 1/100 and then represent that as 300%.

Finally a reasonable way to do percentages! Thank you, I'm stealing this

My life was changed forever when I learned I could say that 6% of 50 was 300%.
