Lisa McArthur you can also just times the 1st number by the second then devide it by 100 so 30% of 30 is 30×30÷100= answer 58% of 95 is 58×95÷100= answer both ways are simple and great

Haxy Go Haxy Go This is just floating point math. You probably learned it using scientific notation in school.

[@xradelox]

The main percentages you’ll see are 25%, 50% and 75%. 50% is easy since you just divide the number in half. Then you just divide that answer in half and you get your quarter (25% and 75%) and then do a little addition or subtraction. Another cool trick is if the digits making up a number are added together and their sum equals a number that’s divisible by 3, then your original number is also divisible by 3. Example: 354 is divisible by 3 because 3+5+4=12 and 12 is divisible by 3. Another one is the 9 times table. From 9x1 up to 9x10, the numbers are inverted. So the pattern starts with 9x1 through 9x5: 09, 18, 27, 36, 45 and then at this point it inverts and the numbers are backwards for 9x6 through 9x10: 54, 63, 72, 81, 90. I love little tricks like that :)

I could never do this in school. Yet I've just learnt this in the video. It's easy and you have explained it better than any teacher I have been taught by. Thankyou so much.

[@adictiveadictive]

I wish I could show this to my teachers from grade school through highschool. I'm sure they never knew this. They DAMN sure never told me, those bastards!

[@robertedwards5184]

I'm 73 now. When I was in school, teachers would be shouting at kids because they couldn't grasp simple tasks. They didn't realise, the poor kids were probably dyslexic. The kids were petrified, which would make them even worse.

[@buddhamack1491]

Thankfully there is change on the horizon. There are now schools without classes, year levels and even subjects. Children are empowered to teach themselves. We teach the children how to learn, not what to learn.

Steven Lee idiot

[@marietheresa7866]

@Steven Lee Steven, right decision when we take into account today's school scenario. If teachers fall short, the children's attitude most times falls shorter. I'm a retired teacher and was singularly fortunate with my pupils. Today it's hard . Hey, Steve, why not take up online teaching ? Needs some effort and innovative ideas/hacks initially, but the end product is profitable and no hassels compared to teaching a class with rowdies. GOD Bless and All d Best.

IMAGINE PEOPLE ON YT TEACHING BETTER THAN MY ACTUAL TEACHER

[@ViejoFeo56]

Remarkably, this is the only trick he has taught that is more difficult than whatever I do in my head. Take what I can from his teachings and apply what is useful.

[@theuserwhorules6117]

this mans voice is so relaxing

[@defilosofoyloco]

Omg! Where have you been all these years????

[@amberpasta9379]

I’m actually watching this video during my winter break and I don’t regret it... I have to get ready for my math class in the spring semester 😭

[@Mazikeen_6238]

I am dyslexic and never could get a handle on math....but this, OMG, thank you soooooo much for being the first to help me properly understand math.

[@boomerstotts6598]

I just finished college calculus and this lowkey blows my mind that I never knew about this

[@powdagirl6239]

I hated maths like I hate asparagus. Where have you been all my life? I wish you were my maths teacher, would have helped a great deal 😭😭😭

[@toddolson573]

Hate is the mis-understanding of a particular thing. As scared is to the same concept.

[@joyceflowershed]

This is the way we were taught in Scotland in the 50s into the 60s, then a new form of teaching came in changing the whole premise.

[@daviddelatorre-montano9217]

Now I'm constantly told that Common Core is the new way to teach correctly. Dumbing down is the new cool.

[@ngandoan6102]

[@amazingwowhaha]

are you from 50s, 60s ??? 😂

[@Luckyfox141]

This was incredible. Thank you so much. It took less than 4 minutes for me to learn this.

[@JK-ci3yu]

I knew how he was going to explain the working out just by looking at the thumbnail😲!

[@jackscrivens9520]

just multiply them, then divide by 100. even easier.

[@oscarstill909]

That makes life SO MUCH EASIER

[@sherrygeorge8613]

Yes it makes life much simpler.

[@Joseph_Soars]

THANK. YOU.

[@taz3205]

Wow you're the smartest person in the world, that method definitely wasn't shown at the start of the video. You deserve an Oscar. If you say it wasn't shown, then check 00:48 for example

[@mr2x276]

Yea or just in case you don't have a calculator a simpler way to do it just simply multiply both numbers together and then write your answer like you would dollar amounts for example like the last problem of this video was 65% of 82 you would multiply both numbers together 65x82=5330 then you would just write it out as 53.30 or for example the other problem 60% of 130 you would multiply 60x130=7800 which would be 78.00 or 78 hope this makes sense as well

[@Roadekfor]

I love how my Pre-Algebra class is learning this and I just got recommended this video 😂

[@firozahossen8307]

At a glance I got the method omg if I had known this 65 years ago i don't know where I would have been..thank you for sharing your knowledge stay blessed ❤️

[@mrmeowtv6248]

For that last one I just looked at 65% and thought of it as 50% + 10% + 5%. 50% of 82 is just half, so 41. 10% of 82 is 8.2, and 5% of 82 is just half of the 10%, or 4.1, then just add 41 + 8.2 + 4.1 = 49.2+4.1 = 53.3. It requires a bit more intense memorizing though holding 3 numbers in your head and adding them one by one.

[@nandain007]

How about this, i have just bought some new shirt, the price is $80 and it's discount by 50%, so, I just have to pay 40 dollars right? and the next day i saw the same shirt with the same price but this time the discount is 70%, So, if I use the method above, I have to spend more money than before, which is 56 dollars, am i right? or there are difference between "Percentages & Discounts"

[@imnahraf9520]

no u just pay 80$ - (80$ × 70%)= 24

[@mrmeowtv6248]

It's important to clarify if 80$ is the discounted price or the original price. If it's the original, 50% of 80$ is just 40$. Another important thing to clarify is: Is the discount 70% off, or is the new price 70% of the original? 70% off means you're subtracting the 70% from the original price, so 80 -80x.7 like mentioned by I'm nahraf. You can also think of it as 30% of the original price since if you take away 70% of the 100% price of 80$, you're left with 30% of 80, or 24$. If you say the new price is 70% of the original price, this means the new price is 0.7 x 80 = 56$. Discount and percentage: Discount means you're taking away or reducing an amount of something, whether a price or quantity of things. A lot of times calculated by percentage. Or x amount off. For example: a 10 dollar discount or 10% discount. A percentage is a proportion of the whole, if the whole is 100%. Its a numeric way to represent a value compared to a previous base value. For example: a 50% decline of a population, or 12% of cars in the US, or 25% off a price in a store.

[@nandain007]

oh ok sir..., by the way 70% is the discount not original or new price, the price is still $80, i almost forget it...., thank you for your advice sir :)

[@nandain007]

i get it...., thanks :), how about this 40% of 1.300.000? should i remove all zero of 1.300.000? or....

[@tateghoul]

I have a math test on Monday 😂😂😂😂. I'm watching all your videos lol

[@Firstnamelastnameismyname23]

I FOUND THIS A DAY AFTER I HAD A NO CALCULATOR TEST ON THIS!!!

[@Kirsche245]

I am now 35 years old and percentages had never been so easy for me to understand until this very moment. Thank you for this video.

[@TrixterTrixie]

Bro how didnt u go down in history-

[@aleisham27]

This actually helped me so much, thank you 😊

[@Agilku117]

NOW KZbin RECOMMEND ME THIS! After all these years, yeah.

[@Tachinaori]

I can't believe you made this so easy... I'm taking my GED at the age of 36 and a lot of the questions are percentage-based and they want you to go through a lot of hoops to get the answer... This made it so easy. Thanks a ton.

[@charlottehayward5943]

Good luck with your GED.

[@maximilianluv1]

If teachers have KZbin account this should be in the recommended list
