Solving Percent Problems

View more at www.MathAndScience.com. In this lesson, you will learn how to solve percent problems that you are likely to encounter in everyday situations. A percent is expression a fraction when the denominator is equal to 100. The word "percent" means "per 100". A typical problem might ask that 6 is what percentage of 12. In order to solve this, we need to set up a proportion, where we solve for the numerator of the fraction, which we will then circle as the percentage for our final answer. To solve these problems, we will also learn to solve equations and use the rules of algebra to find the final answer.

I'm 38 years old. I wish you had been my math teacher. Love listening to your tutorials. Thanks a million.

[@PrestonWeahtoe5698]

Same here 😂 sir

His genius consists in communicating and explaining in such a way that everybody will understand. He is making all the difference for those of us who want to learn math; and when complex concepts come along he repeats them enough times so that it will not be easy to forget what we need to review and practice in that particular lesson so that we may learn what we need to learn. Unquestionably he is a A++++ Professor.

[@MathAndScience]

Wow thank you!

[@amyroland-xm7il]

Omg he is great! Guys where is part 2?

My God, you are the best greatest teacher on earth, I don't know if there is or not anyone else that I know that teaches so clearly in detail, you should be an example to the entire world's education systems this is how everything should be taught , instead of long boring lectures, or reading books that are so hard just to understand what they are trying to tell you, because the way books are written is very official language which I abhor, a simple concept that can take one minute to understand takes hours, because the way these evil books are written , the concepts of science, math and everything else are not hard to learn and are actually fun to learn, if it wasn't for these official languages that are used in all books, I am so sick and tired of them. This is how everything should be taught in all schools. Simple, fun and clear. They should learn from you, you are the best and made a big difference in my life, truly American teachers are the best too at teaching. But offcourse your ways of teaching makes it the 👌 best.

[@eugenetf]

This is exactly how math should be taught. You communicate so well without wasting your breath and tiring the patience of your students and go right in to solve the problem. And you solve many more of such problems to drive home the point and the student is left in no doubt at all. Well done!

[@georgemurphy2579]

Yes...both he, and Mr. J, are true experts in these areas.

[@ewomazinoonoriode450]

you are such a good teacher thanks for the good work

[@TeacherMacky]

Or just divide the numerator by the denominator then multiply the answer by 100. The solution method you’re teaching is the long one. Still excellent though.

[@Xasanxidig]

Easy way

[@Assassin-q8f]

Yeah but his way is to make it more intuitive. Dividing and multiplying directly confuses people, like (12/20)100, what are we actually finding with this one ? Why is 100 multiplied ? Doesn't explain much.

[@thelatterrainangelsministr2345]

His method, very good, no need for calculator and the concept is more clearer. That's why people forget math if they don't get the concept.

[@tiffanyjoris8937]

I have problem with math I'm in six grade these videos help me thanks for sending out these videos it taught me so much

[@lifewithkee4156]

This video was very helpful been out of school for and I'm back in school for iT YOU HAVE A MATH TEST COMING UP AND THIS WAS VERY HOPEFUL THANK YOU😊

[@elle9633]

Thank you for simplifying math. I've seen so many "creative" teachers that only complicate learning.

[@emmanuellaku4141]

Sir I wish you all the best 👍 you helped me alot thank you I appreciate that 🙏

[@Adriannlouisyohann]

I love this guy because he explains everything in ditail and gives a lot of questions untill we understand😊😊

[@Nightcrawler58]

YOU ARE MY FRIEND FOREVER. YOU ARE A GENIUS. NOPROFESSOR COMPARES TO YOU EVRR.

[@coolerdino123]

Thank you so much! I don't think that I ever had percentages explained so well!!

[@MathAndScience]

I'm so glad!

[@242math]

excellent tutorial on percentage problems, very well explained, thanks for sharing

[@RoshneeChaudhri]

I'm already a bit better at this concept after watching 2 of your videos, thank you so much :)

[@MathAndScience]

Great to hear!

[@dmiah_official]

Thanks very much for your videos

[@sajidaalijunaid]

Finally I know... thank you very much. I was struggling to help my kids.

[@tsebokimtaetae-wu9hi]

I'm in gr 8 and this helped so much.Thank you

[@georgemurphy2579]

Good for you to spend time online learning, rather than playing games...hats off to you🎉😊

[@mardearicks8133]

The simple way that you present these math tutorials makes you an incredible Teacher. THANK YOU! THANK YOU, AND THANK YOU!!!

[@MathAndScience]

Welcome!

[@patriciahines4660]

Must say an amazing teacher . Explain well thanks for sharing .

Math and science always finds a way to make people's day happier, he has inspired me to start my own channel😀😀

[@MathAndScience]

So awesome thank you!

[@thekickinvain]

When it comes to these questions i’ve noticed that the rule of three method helps you solve it much faster.

[@ወንድልጅ]

thank you for teaching as

[@MathAndScience]

My pleasure!

you are the best am really enjoy your teaching very explaination

[@deqaabdi9740]

Thanks.

[@kkr8487]

wish i had teacher like him

[@dahirahmed5533]

Good teacher thank you

[@eugenetf]

How I wish I had a math teacher like you in my school years!

[@leonellaguerra4160]

Thank you I needed this for homework

[@tsul....96]

I passed Class 10 with 08 marks in Maths. I did B. A. with History as my Major subject. And today I am an assistant teacher teaching English Grammar and S/S. However, I found a good techer suddenly so I'll be watching all the time to learn whatever I could solve easily upto class 7. The reason I am weak at mathematics is that I didn't do nicely from class 8

[@VilmaraPinto]

He is so good and clear explaining that, at the 1 one, I was able to resolve the rest by myself. thank u

[@georgemurphy2579]

Haven't seen you in a while. Glad you're back...!!!

[@yasminjohar3248]

That is good my teacher😘😘🥳🤚💛

[@pullingthestrings5233]

I like Criss crossing instead of multiply by 100 and then solve for x

[@MathAndScience]

I understand and I sympathize. Criss-cross works, but ONLY for this type of equation. What I am teaching you is the general method that you will later apply to solve much more complex equations. This is why I am teaching it this way, because it is applied to any type of equation! It is a fundamental skill to understand how I am doing it. Good luck in your studies! Jason

[@adedotunmichael6486]

You are the best! Thank you so much

[@mridulacharya8250]

Sir in the video called what is *area* You have randomly chosen to check that how many *squares* fits in the rectangle...so can't I choose how many small rhombus fit in the rectangle or how many small rectangles can fit into the bigger rectangle??

[@drumtwo4seven]

Damn Good 👍 ...as usual 👍

[@MathAndScience]

Thank you!

[@TeacherMacky]

30 is what percent of 200? 30/200 = 0.15 Then, multiply by 100. The answer is 15%.

[@ganexblack262]

math made easy

[@nicketiabrooks880]

Easy

[@xuriyacabduqadir2603]

One teacher one pen can remove the ignorance

[@CeciliaBaby-LoveKoroma]

What is scale in mathematics

[@1timetv96]

15/100 is the same to 15% in the last problem

[@bemnetteketel1003]

You can do it easily 36÷48×100= 75😉

[@googleuser806]

Or just skiiiiip all of this and divide 12 divided by 20 and save your markers and your mental health 😮

[@ElseVangee]

I can't do it😢😢😢

[@john-Puma]

6 procent av 12 är 7,2.mvh.Johnny

[@kfjfkeofitorhf9520]

6%==12 12×6/100=0,72
