Solving Percent Problems: IS/OF

[@patriciavillalobos112]

Mr Thompson I'm over 60 years and I enjoy learning is never to late to learn thank you for teaching us God Bless you❤

[@tye6207]

Okay so I was studying for the Hesi exam but for some reason the percentages kept confusing me. I found this video the day before my exam and it literally saved my life! I was able to use this method for at least 40 of the 55 questions. I can’t thank you enough!!!!!

[@softsage112]

Ok so I have a math test including some of this has no notes and I have no idea how I am going to memorize so many things anyway so why doesn’t it work for all of the problems (that’s what I am wondering

[@gregoryharlston0602]

What percent were you able to use this on? 40 out of 55 questions, what percent is that?

I don't know who he is but I've been scrolling through videos trying to help my kid with homework and I just took a chance by clicking on this video and I'm glad I did. Thank you so much!!

This dude literally saved my life

[@naziahussam9657]

Today is my exam and I I watching this #prayforme

[@Lightnock4]

Same! 😆

[@celinagolo]

My kid’s math workbook has a really complicated way of solving percentage problems using “a number is a percent of another number” - what a bunch of baloney! Your explanation is so much less complicated. The “is over of” is the best! Thank you for your vid and thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😀

[@faithpurkis7663]

I am over 60 years old and I wish we had been taught this way. It makes so much sense. Thank you so much. God b;ess.

[@DiepNguyen-ce4hq]

I'm used to be stressed out, upset, confused & so scared of this type of percentage problem , until this moment of watching your clip! Thanks trillion times, Sir :)

[@CJCSCS]

Wow you broke it down so well. I have spent hours trying to figure out a formula. Much appreciated

[@CleoMcBurney]

Thank you! Part of my exams tomorrow are based on this topic, which has always been a struggle for me since my teacher's don't explain it well, but now I get it! This is the literally only percentage video I actually understand.

[@adrianhotspurllorischan5335]

Same as me😍😍😍😆😆😆😆

[@thefloridahomeownersguide]

Same here! Nobody has ever made it make sense before

[@amyroland-xm7il]

[@QuantumMech_88]

Mr. Thompson -> Putting a sentence together and showing a demonstrable use of your equation is excellent and I wish my math teachers many years ago would have used this technique for algebraic equations etc. Thank You very much .

[@curtisf]

i dont usually comment on videos, but this has to be the best way of teaching i have seen on youtube. 5 stars

[@Abigail-v4l7n]

Agreed ! Man is a genius

[@seanc4433]

Love your is/of example. This is exactly how I have been teaching the "percent sentence" this way for years! Thank you for posting.

My ADHD brain can become overwhelmed during exams. Now that I have memorized your example I feel far more confident when faced with percentage problems. Thank you kindly

[@dutchettl9497]

Thank u sooooooo much for explaining the "Is" and the "Of" it helps me to understand more on which numbers goes where 😊

I learn more here in 15 minute than 3 month in my college

[@gardenglory6624]

thats terrible cause you're in college, sadly schools can really suck. im trying to self educate from GRADE 1 math's because I've had the worst math education in schools. You really have to TEACH yourself with KZbin, cause instructors IN REAL life don't care about students. good luck buddy

Thank you! I am terrible at math and needed a formula for percentages I could memorize and no one seemed to offer one that made sense...until now!

[@jovanymejia7887]

am i the only one who watched more than 10 videos still clueless and came here was was like " OHHHH I GET IT NOW"

[@piyushkumar6676]

i could help you %/100=is/of means num=is part of that Total and Denom =is the Total i.e., 85 refers to 17 and 100 refers to x(85/100=17/x)

Thank you so much for this. I remember now. After 3 practices now I don't need to set in proportion. It is easy.

[@danielclair7493]

I was attempting to do these as he went over them and got a few wrong. But on the word problems I got one right and got so excited I jump up and knocked my chair over and everything lol. Yay me This guy is awesome. I am really horrible with math. He broke it down and worked it out as he went and it really helped me!!!! Thank you so much. I feel alot more confident now starting my math class. Your awesome!! I still need to understand how to check my answers tho. That part did not click with me .

[@Jaimeloera36]

I came to class today very late to the point where I was in class for less than an hour and a half(out of 6) and I only saw the end of this. After a ton of other videos, this one was the one that helped me catch on super quick

[@Moosa_Says]

Best method on KZbin.. Thanks a lot sir :) Love from Pakistan

[@davedeatherage4902]

Thank you for you're Math help. What helps me is thinking "of" means Multiplication, and "is" means =,Equal.

I looked at other videos and yours made it more simple for me to understand 👍👍

Just found this video and it has made a huge difference to my understanding of percentages 😀

[@samira2474]

this concept helped me so much! I was just confused on the first word problem because it said "how many OF Mr. Thompson's math students have A's" so i thought the total, 33, would be where the "IS" is at and the variable "x" is the "of"

Thank you so much I just watched the math dude video trying to understand ratio and proportion but gave up feeling like I couldn't get it but your video pops up and I'm getting it! It's funny how everyone's learning styles are different. Though he uses the terms "part" or "whole" which means the same thing as " is" or " of", I understood it better with just those two simple changes

ugh. I'm following this video and going back and writing down the problems and each step. I understand it when I follow along, but whenever I try to do the problem on my own I always get a TOTALLY different answer. I accidentally placed my numbers in the wrong area for the 15% of 60 question. I did 15/600 and got 40. I press play and the goddamn right answer is 9... freakin NINE.
