What is the best way to practice quick quantification during interviews? E.g finding the percentage equivalent to 1/8, or finding the percentage change in costs between two figures, and other common case math. Does it just get better with practice? I see some people just having a natural intuition for these numbers and can quantify magnitudes quickly and accurately, and I wonder how they do it

hey there :)
Yes I would say, it mostly gets better with practice. Start by memorizing common fractions and their percentages (1/2 to 1/10), practice quick estimation with percentage changes, and do lots of timed mini-calcs outside full cases. Doing pure math drills, even 10–15 min daily, builds speed and intuition. I also run dedicated math practice with my mentees if you want to join.
