I like how you don't use more words than necessary or back track or show us "how not to do it" and all that other nonsense I find elsewhere. Clean, straightforward style. I dig it!!

[@patrickjmt]

@hteinkmin let x = number of girls. so then there are .85x boys (85% of the number of girls). so x + .85x = 30 ; now solve for x.

[@boxshreeg1079]

Dude, your vids are amazing, I would have never understood without you!

[@patrickjmt]

@2146725 you do the same thing... you multiply 75 by (.0825)

[@gigglegirlsunshine]

You're an amazing teacher, thankyou :)

[@mizpain624]

thank you you really saved alot of trouble and time.

[@kenlaguador9811]

You got the Right answer, Good Job, but 6 supposed to be above the percent. since .75 is less than 6. higher number is always comes above the lowest number.

[@uniqueclairvoyant]

Thank u ! Very good job explaining ,I think now I can implement this when doing percentage 😊

[@patrickjmt]

glad i could help!

[@crazyleemer1]

you are very inteligent patrick.

[@rugby86]

cheers. This really helped a lot! Oh, and you're lef handed just like me :) regards

[@abuccilli]

Does this have anything to do with characterizing Hilbert functions of standard graded Gorenstein k-algebras? Just kidding, keep up the good work!

[@0DataOvermind0]

i was wondering, for 225% of 24, to make it easier to do in your head, i suppose you could do 24*2,(forty eight) and then .25*24, (six) in my head i see then add the two products?

[@jarenbelton40]

Thank you i needed it bad thanks alot

[@conewells]

Thanks for this. Where can I find lesson One?

[@armaanaalim]

Basically divide a number by 100 and then times it by the original number?
