Where does this math come from?
Solving percents. I use this to predict gross and net of my paychecks when I do my budget.
Net X ------ = ------ Gross 100 (GrossX) = (Net × 100) GrossX ÷ (Net × 100) = X Example; 200 X ------ = ------- 250 100 Step A 200 × 100 = 20000 Now 250X = 20000 Step B 20000÷250=80 Therefore X=80 Also expressed as 80% of 250 = 200.It’s also kinda handy when figuring out sales and stuff at the store, sometimes.

Hot 73 yo jailbait

This is the elFBI, open up!

Which kinda makes the math meaningless cause 73 < 100 requires no calculation.
-
it’s a generally accepted assumption in many post-Tolkien fantasy works.
Gennerelly accepted where ?

if 100 is the age of adulthood then it is equivalent to 18 in human years

only if you assume the drinking age is 21 or the equivalent. An assumption that is true for a small percentage of population of the world for a small fraction of human history

In the USA probably because it’s their drinking age

I get the 21 , but I’m not clear about the 100.
-
because of the background and helmet, and the elfs clothing.
I own that top in black.

close enough

before the Internet killed my attention span, I used to read a lot of science fiction and fantasy novels by a variety of authors. Since then, I’ve watched a lot of anime and read a lot of amateur writing. I don’t have specific sources to cite, but the trope is common enough and recurring enough that I stand by my claim of “generally accepted”.

Which is exactly what the character is doing

Nah, it checks out. I ran the numbers myself and I got 15.33, which is roughly 15. This, of course, assumes the age of adulthood is 21 for humans and 100 for elves, and we don’t really have a reason to doubt those numbers.
Others have doubted the 21 year figure being appropriate for humans but I think the 100 year figure is ridiculous for elves. It’s based on the assumption that age of maturity and total lifespan are always preserved in an exact ratio across different species, when this is demonstrably not the case.

Does it matter? If we used maturity as a measure, I would still be unable to drink.

You are such a medieval wench though.

I’m talking about physical maturity, not emotional maturity (which is greatly influenced by environment).

Im that case, should have been drinking at 14, because I’m as hairy as a chimp.
