Calculating Percents using Decimals - [6-3-17]

More Lessons: www.MathAndScience.com
Twitter: / jasongibsonmath
In this lesson, you will learn how to work with percentages using their decimal equivalents. In order to calculate the percentage of a number, we will first convert the percentage into a decimal, then we will use this decimal equivalent to multiply by the number. It is usually easier to use the decimal form of a percent to solve problems.

I'm about to take an entrance exam for mechanical engineering in university. Thank you for all your help and advice.

I'm so thankful to have come across your page... You truly are a gifted teacher/instructor. I have a difficult time w/math and I can't believe I didn't fall asleep, like I usually do in other videos. I worked the problems with you and got them right each time, almost wanted to cry tears of joy!

This is briliant, your teaching methods makes the subject so interesting. Math was a nightmare for me, but now youve brought a lot of confidence. This is definitely a worthy investment for my kids. Thank you so much Jason.

Great to hear!

My God, you are the best greatest teacher on earth, I don't know if there is or not anyone else that I know that teaches so clearly in detail, you should be an example to the entire world's education systems this is how everything should be taught , instead of long boring lectures, or reading books that are so hard just to understand what they are trying to tell you, because the way books are written is very official language which I abhor, a simple concept that can take one minute to understand takes hours, because the way these evil books are written , the concepts of science, math and everything else are not hard to learn and are actually fun to learn, if it wasn't for these official languages that are used in all books, I am so sick and tired of them. This is how everything should be taught in all schools. Simple, fun and clear. They should learn from you, you are the best and made a big difference in my life, truly American teachers are the best too at teaching. But offcourse your ways of teaching makes it the 👌 best.

Amazing teacher i love the way you teach

Hi Jason, question 1. Is Algebra 2 and college algebra the same thing? 2. Does your Chemistry course cover all high-school/ AP chemistry content? 3. Does your Physics 1/2 cover all of AP physics 1 and 2 content?

I was sitting in 5th grade (primary school) when this subject matter hit me clearly between the eyes.

[@designertjp-utube]

Me too, in 1968. Went right over my head, thus I've returned to class today. I now honestly feel if the teachers had told us we'd be able to calculate how much money we'd have in the bank after accumulating *APY* interest, I might have listened more. At least I did learn that : _If my Sears _*_Minibike_*_ had a full gas tank, I could ride to _*_Pasadena_*_ JPL, play all day and make it back home in style. If I'd tried that run with a 50% tankful of gas, there would have been a good chance I'd be walking my Minibike back home._ *Good* *Grief!*

I mean for kids to get practice is good but not practical in life, where you need quick answers in higher education, proficiency exams and real life, All these are just quick multiplication instead of just dragging with maths. All can be done in the head and tricks given below) 50% of 20 = 1/2 x 20 OR 5 x 2 =10 25% of 32 = 2 x 3.2 + (3.2/2) = 6.4 + 1.6 = 8.0 40% of 25 = 4 x 2.5 = 9.0 16% of 150 = 16 x 150% = 16 x 1.5 = 16 + 8 = 24 26% of 60 = 26 x 60% = 2.6 x 6 = 15.6 73% of 8 = 7.3 x 8 /10 = 58.4/10 = 5.84 75% of 72= 7 x 7.2 + (7.2/2) = 50.4 + 3.6= 54.0 90% of 37 = 9 x 3.7 = 33.3 Here some tricks Both A & B are interchangeable A x B% === B x A% 1)if either of the A, B is 25,50,100,..multipe so its either x1/4, x1/2, x1, x1.5, x2 45 x 50% = 22.5 , 45 x 100% = 90, 45 x 150%=112.5 2) easy formula 20 x 30% = take 10% of both A and B and Multiply =2 x 3 = 6 3)find round number (to 10, 15) etc in A or B and use that as percentage so 30 x 22% = 22 x 30% = 2.2 x 3 = 6.6 if one is multiple of 5, then use that as percentage and normal multiply(10%) + (5% = 1/2(half) of the 10%) 45 x 22% = 22 x 45% = 2.2 x 4 + 1.1(half of 2.2) = 8.8 + 1.1 = 9.9

In a group of 150 students, 40% are the girls. How many girls are there in the group? Ans: 0.40×150=60.0 girls.

[@designertjp-utube]

Late Comedian *Don* *Rickles* - _"Did you check the package?"_

[@mr.ph9859]

Yep 👍 40% = 60 (girls) 60% = 90 (boys)

[@bluepegasus7919]

Being an Asian I feel this is very easy for me even easier for a 5th grader...
