thank you john i just took the TABE test and failed and got a lil down and % was where i failed but seeing how you explained i will ace the text the next time thank you so much
Thank you John. I really appreciate your efforts to simplify these things. As an adult going back to school I have been really worried about the math I forgot and was never really good at in the first place. You're a great help.
Great video, thanks for all info. it made it easy for me to understand...it is so embarrassing asking employees the percentage of the item that is on sale..Now I feel confident and no need to ask. Thanks very much, well done.
Very helpful! I just took the GED test last month.. I got my scores back yesterday and I passed everything BUT MATH :/ I'm working on my math and this helped alot! Thanks!
you have no idea how much this video has put me at ease!! everything seems so hard but you explain it perfectly!! i have a GED test in 10 days & am terrified about the math... thank you soooooooo much!!
can you do any videos on reverse percentages? Like figuring out how much percentage of a tip someone gave? So far I found that using 10 percent as a starting place, then counting up the ones place up or down helps me figure it out. like 6.40 is 10% of 64 bucks..if someone tiped 8 bucks (2 bucks extra) i add to ones place to make 12 %
@zjayzjay I will consider making a video. But in the meantime, $8 is 12.5% of $64. Look at it this way, 8 goes into 64 8 times. That is 1/8th. 8 divided by 1 is .125 times 64 is 8. 10% of 64 is $6.40. 2% is $1.28. That equals $7.68. How much is missing? 32 cents, with is equal to .5% of 64. I did this all in my head with pen or paper. You can do it too.
Great! Now I get it. I even have a tutor and Im failing pre algebra AGAIN.

Why is it that this other dude in YouTube did it way different and when tried doing it this way on his vid, it didn't workout and made confused?

how is 25 as a fraction 0.4?
Its definately 1/4.. but 0.4.. wouldn't it be 0.25
888berg 1 year ago
@888berg Instead of multipying by 25, I divide by 4. It works just as well.
