Shortcut for Percent Word Problems: tax, discounts, sales! (Simplifying Math)

[@nguyenphunggiahungschannel4413]

Today I am still just a little kid but I'm doing 6th-grade math. Now I'm doing 6th-grade math word problems. At first time I can't just do a single problem. But when I saw these videos from you I've mastered it now. I can even teach on social media and even teach calculus at entire primary schools! Thanks Eric Buffington.

[@leebones4091]

I am from the Uk and you have simplified it and brought it into the real world which a lot of videos do not do

[@EricBuffington]

Thanks so much!

[@melmclamb1895]

You made percentage so freaking easy. I knew how to do it but I still struggled and out of all the youtubers on percentage I got your way so fast. The way you explained it made it so simple. Thank you and you got a new subscriber

[@EricBuffington]

Glad I could help!

[@EvaHart-kw3fo]

Mr. Eric Buffington What wonderful easy math lessons you teach. They are easy to follow. By others so darn complicated. Thankyou, Eva Hart

[@iamwml_]

I truly thank you for helping us all about word problems, how to calculate sales tax, discounts and how to convert percent to decimals (which I had forgotten because I did it a long time ago)

[@lisamccray6481]

I left this video feeling that someday I will be very well paid. I thank the internet makers and all teachers out there.

[@EricBuffington]

So glad it was helpful for you! Good luck! :)

You are naturally born teacher!!!

Thanks!

[@malnaim8588]

Cheers from Saudi Arabia. I truly have never enjoyed percentage and discounts solving until watching your vids. Please keep up the good work.

[@EricBuffington]

Thanks! That's great to hear! Cheers! :)

i had to watch this video for my exam tomorrow and it really gave me a better understanding of precent word problems

[@EricBuffington]

So glad it helped! Best of luck on the Exam!

[@sonjiavowell8659]

Wow, thanks for teaching this. It really helped me. When I was a kid, I wanted math to be one of the better subjects, but it was hard to figure out some of these math problems. I've been brushing up on my math skills for a year and have been watching your videos to get a better understanding. I finally get the concepts now and this is a much easier way of doing the math.

[@EricBuffington]

Wow! That's so great that the videos can help you in that way! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching! :)

I applied for a job as Executive Secretary. OMG. The test was 1h 30m. English: spelling, vocabulary, text interpretation, office routines. MATH: massive test on percentage, word problems on all kind of percentage from basic to advanced and very complicated. You have to read over and over, and 1h and 30m flies. Even if you know everything, you have to manage the time, otherwise fail.

[@farihayesmin4763]

How do i understand that when do i have to subtract the discount percentage from 100%? This thing is confusing me!!

[@himynameis8296]

Fariha Yesmin With discount problems just convert the decimal of the discount percent by dividing by 100, then multiply with the total price to find the discount price and if it asks for the the total With the discount, you subtract the discount price you got the first time from the total to find the total price with the discount

[@tehrealmsingh5395]

Ok I know this is super late but instead of thinking about it "dividing by 100" you can think "move the decimal twice to the left" it may seem complicated but it is easier to remember to me.

[@cenkarson777]

What if you aren't allowed to use a calculator?

[@EricBuffington]

Do the multiplication by hand or use long division. I have videos on how to do each of those if you are interested.

[@cenkarson777]

@@EricBuffington Thanks, I checked out the video's. However, I couldn't solve some problems such as 47/0.77. You would end up with 601 + 3/77, is there any way to solve this sum without calculator?
