Solving Percent Problems Using the Percent Equation (Finding the Whole) | Math with Mr. J

[@MathwithMrJ]

✅ Please keep in mind, there are different strategies to solve percent problems. This video focuses on using the percent equation which can be used to set up multiple types of percent problems. We may need to find the percent, the whole amount, or the part depending on the situation, so the equation can help us organize the problem and solve. Solving percent problems without the equation is an option as well. Do whatever works best for you! This is just another option for us to use. ✅ Need help solving these types of problems by hand (aka no calculator)? Check this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6SwgniXn92Jrc0 ✅ Check out more percent problem videos here: kzbin.info/aero/PLiT3pCvK_cfUHddgjTKtD6a1EOnBqnVG3 ✅ For #1, remember, 0.30 is equivalent to 0.3. They are equivalent, so either way will work. ✅ Thanks so much for watching! ✌✌✌

30% of what = 18 recall 30% means 30 per 100, or 30/100, or 0.30 0.30 * what = 18 what = 18 / 0.30 = 60

[@larrytasker7043]

Z x 30/100 or 3/10 = 18 therefore z =10x18 divided by 30 so it's 180 divided by 30 = 60. Use fractions much easier

[@Steven-v6l]

evidently using fractions is NOT easier, because you made some mistakes. You should have written:: Z x 30/100 or 3/10 = 18 therefore z =10x18 divided by *3* so it's 180 divided by *3* = 60. was it easier than this? 30% = 30/100 = 0.30 . SO 0.30*what = 18 SO what = 18/0.30 = 60
