Reverse Percentages

[@1789balzac]

You know I never got a chance to thank you. I had to do a maths related problem at work so I used your videos to understand it. To be clear I have hated maths most of life but actually for the first time I started to love. Of course I put in the work but I see the world differently. I wish I had had this at school. I sing your praises everywhere...

[@CheeseMan_13]

My god this helps out so much when teachers just love using way more complicated methods

[@tasangerbakes]

these videos are so much easier, we always learn some long ass method at school

[@AshleyTyagi]

Or you could just divide the new amount by either a increase or decrease by adding the percentage change or subtracting

[@tanishkabumrah]

thanks thats much easier

[@luminarymani]

tyyy

[@hamoshytube1853]

Tysm my school taught me a very long method

@@dagorad3723 hope you dont get called out to answer by the teacher

[@aliciaosei6408]

was the first question a mistake? since it talks about decreasing the prices then says calculate the price before the increase. help im confused

[@kinzazahid4745]

yes its a mistake. it should have been before the decrease

[@jemma_palma]

thank youu!! learned this at gcse 4 years ago.. now wanted to work out the original price for some laser hair removal treatment... and had forgotten how to do actual real life useful maths but your vid helped! thanks

[@someguywithaccesstotheinte527]

Legend. I was doing this with my tutor, and using this I found out where I was going wrong.(which was adding/subtracting from the percentage ._.) Thanks anyway Mr genie. I am confident that I will pass my gcses with you around :D

[@leilahk175]

this is very helpful, however you do not need to divide to get 1% of the answer but you can instead: for example for the last question say £70.00 pounds in digits is 7000 : and this would be equal to 87.5 (the multiplier) then just divide them *7000/87.5* which would give you the same answer and it would work with any one of the other questions to be more time efficient in a test :))) but tysmm anyways

[@IsmailPbx]

calculate the price before the increase?

[@theclanoflegendz5389]

Yh

[@mariaalhaj1185]

im confused too

[@george1772]

Before the decrease you mean

[@ceryslovesfilm]

this was set as my maths homework lolol

[@ShreyBrawlStars]

Cerys Hawkes same with everyone else watching this video...

[@BongoCongo53]

Bro, you’re amazing, thank you so much. I can finally do my math homework now.

[@aaj5112]

Brilliant. My confusion got answered in the very first ten seconds regarding adding ten percent to get the original price. Which is logical but yet the wrong way to do it 😂

[@thineth.s6588]

Watching this right before a test, thank you

[@rayyanabubakar9015]

Great video, its very much appreciated

[@abbiemartz7474]

I understand this now. Thanks so much.

[@SPsffeagle]

Thank you , this sum was so easy

[@dxvxx]

THANK YOUU!!

[@humnaali6883]

how would you calculate this without a calculator

[@mathsgenie7808]

+Humna Ali it would depend on the question but if there had been a 20% increase and the new value is £240. You would have £240 = 120%. You could divide by 6: £40 = 20% Then multiply by 5: £200 = 100%.

[@saniaverma1310]

omg you literally sound like my life skills teacher woahhhhh

thank u it was very helpful

[@Layla-bk9nq]

For question 1, I believe that you have done the calculation wrong, as I got £63.54 instead of £65. Please reply, Genie

[@malvanoss5021]

No your calculation is wrong
