[@bennemann]

I have a cool technique for percentages of large numbers. I divide numbers into their tens, hundreds, thousands etc. constituents, apply the percentage to each one, them sum the results. So to do 20% of 1485 (composed of 1000, 400, 80 and 5), I do: (20% of 1000) + (20% of 400) + (20% of 80) + (20% of 5) = 200 + 80 + 16 + 1 = 297

[@mrcool9918]

Thanks mate that really helped a lot with my homework

[@doonmore1]

+bennemann 20% is the same as 1/5 so just divide 1485 by 5 ( =297) ... or divide by 10 and double your answer. e.g. 1485 /5 = 297 or 1485/10 = 148.5 the x 2 = 297

When the percentage is a two digit number its always gonna start with a decimal 45% of 80 .45×80=36 --------------------- When the percentage is only one digit start with your decimal but add a zero followed by your percentage 4% of 80 .04×80=3.2 This method gets rid of the subtracting Hopefully this helps and is understandable.

Passion_4_running I don’t need to know you. I can see it by the way you are talking about others.

25% of 860 - would you not just half it, and then half it again (if we are trying to keep it simple)?

[@ExplodingConsole]

+Jessica Smith That's what I did, to try to keep it simple and follow a simular path to the 5% method of taking 10% and halfing it.

[@bennemann]

+Jessica Smith I usually divide the number in its constituents of tens, hundreds and thousands. So 860 becomes 800 + 60. I do a quarter (25%) of each, which gives 200 and 15 respectively, then just sum them back together to give 215. Another example would be 20% of 1485. It becomes (20% of 1000) + (20% of 400) + (20% of 80) + (20% of 5) = 200 + 80 + 16 + 1 = 297 Got it?

[@tisharnmason849]

Thank you sm for making this video!! I havent done maths as in percentages, fractions etc in a long time and today I ordered a cake for my sons birthday & the lady said she needed a 30% payment made as a booking fee and I was embarrassed but i didnt wanna ask her what 30% of $170 was but after watching this I got it $51🥳🥳🥳

[@shockz5797]

Divide by 100 then multiply whatever the percentage is by the number you’re trying to find the percentage of

[@holly2820]

That's What my teacher says and I still don't get it

[@paspolanarzary1132]

I can find any percentage in less then 30 sec

[@mysony9679]

Paspola Narzary yea same I just tried 87% of 8000 and I got 6960 in a solid 23 seconds I think I that’s pretty fast I even checked my answer using a calculator I’m basically one when it comes to theses problems now

[@DONTWATCHTHATYEAH]

On the 55% of 360, why is it not 50% (180) plus 5% (9) to make 55% which equals 189. I know it's wrong but I don't understand why. Thanks.

[@tecmath]

***** Thanks for the question!55% of 360, it is 50% (180) plus 5% (18 - this is half of 10% which is 36!)) to make 55% which equals 198.

[@DONTWATCHTHATYEAH]

tecmath I think I got it! Thanks!

[@missprettygirl1able]

tecmath I still do not understand how 55% of 360 is 198. I thought I did it correctly.

[@glowdawn1976]

Imari Is Weird Hi Imari! Basically you find 10 percent of 360 (just take the zero off) which is 36. Multiply 36 by 5 to get 50 percent, which is 180. But you need 55 percent, so get 36 (which is ten percent) and divide by 2 to get 18 (which is 5 percent) and add it onto 180, which is 198. Hope that helped :)
