Solving Percentage Word Problems 

This helped a lot . I’m studying for my asvab and don’t understand percentages word problems but you helped me a lot

Question 1. Quick way, 6000 minus 2400= 3600. 3600÷6000=0.6 move decimal over two times to the right. Easy

Right answer but long way. Easiest way is to multiply 65.5 * 15/100 which will give you 9.825. You then do 65.5- 9.825 = 55.675 then round to the nearest penny which will give you $55.68

First week of school and theres a test in 2 days on percentages and vocab. This video helped me so much! Thanks!

thanks, this helped a lot. my math teacher is really bad at his job and didn’t explain this correctly. in 2 days i have a math benchmark, most of the questions are going to be about percentages. this strategy will work amazingly!

You don’t understand how much this helped me. Thank you so much

Thank you so much. They helped me a lot. You were specific how to do things and why you need to do that🙏🙏

Omg! This solved all my problems for middle school!! Thank u 🙏 ❤‍🔥

thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for

I have a exam coming, and this helped me alot.

Awesome video! Oh, this made so much sense!!! :D

This helped so much. I’m studying for a math test retake because I failed 😞 because it was Bajrem and I had no time to study or sleep

Thank you Sandra, because I couldn't see Where the 85% came from and I thought to get 15% of 65.50 was to multiply... Thanks again Sandra

You're a good teacher Thanks!🍎

You could’ve just multiplied 65.5 and 0.15 then subtract the result with the original number

we can find 15% of 65 and then subtract that from the original price to get the discounted price? I feel this is more simple .

THIS HELPED ME SO MUCH! Thanks. ;)

Wow! I totally agree with all the people who commented, this viedo was great! Thank you so much

Thanks u helped with my homework

In the first example, you can just subtract (600-2400) then put the answer you receive over the toatal (3600/6000) and finally, multiply by a 100 (because it is percentage)

Imagine having to endure three hours of math learning percentage compared to a 9 minute video with everything I need

In the second problem what determines when to divide I understand stand by looking at the out come why we would divide but how do come to that ?

Thank you so much this helped me a lot like you don't even know

Thank you

Thanks dude

I love you man

I got all correct answers in this exercise.

Thanks!

thank You!

this help me to solve some problems using percent

Do 65.5 times .015 u get 9.825 and that minus 9.825 is 55.675 rounded to nearest penny is 55.68 I know sometimes u can’t do this type of method like therefore when they ask u what is the price before in some word problems but I’m just trying to simplify it for u guys having a hard time btw percent increase/decrease is percent of change

THANK YOU.

I feel so bad this was taught to me the same way. But I finally get it now.

Man by the time I watch and master this my "Achilles" heel will be non existent

Studying for finals in my summer program for kids to try to get them into independent school. I know another quick way to do it 2400/6000 × 100/1 = 40% 100- 40% =

Thanks it really helped me

5:44 how do you come up with 85% i am confused Is this correct 100-85 = 15 ?? Or 100-15= 85

Wow, you really crate comfusion not learning. It a way to solve it much easy way

Wow thank you soooooo much for explaining this Sir! I get it now!!!!!!! 😆😆😆

Using this for the asvab wish me luck

Good Job this actually really helped

This is the simple solving. Base= $65.50 Rate= 15% to get the decimal ÷ 100 = 0.15 65.60 x 0.15 = 9.825 65.60 original amount subtract to 9.825 P = 55.675 Part.Pennies 5 cents round up to 7 is 8. 55.68

Primary work, much?

very helpful

Wow... this is really making it seem SO much more complicated... First question, just figure out 100%, 50%, 10% and 5% of 6000 and make 2400 out of it for the 40% approval, which means the disapproval is 60%...

What's the name of the formula you used called??

Good tutorial..learning proportions but find it easier to just take 65.50 X .15 (change percent to decimal)= 9.8220 rounded equal 9.82 which is the discount off of the dress, subtract it from the total cost of the dress 65.50 -9.82= 55.68

it easier to just take 65.50 X .15 (change percent to decimal)= 9.8220 rounded equal 9.82 which is the discount off of the dress, subtract it from the total cost of the dress 65.50 -9.82= 55.68

It's correct but it is easier to multiply by the multiplier

For the second problem you can just use the equation: New value = original value (1 +/- r) So the solution is : New value = 65.50 (1 - 0.15) The reason why we used subtraction instead of addition is because it is a discount, if it is a sales tax then we would’ve used addition. r is the percentage but is converted to a decimal that is why 15% = 0.15 The final answer is 55.675. Hope this helps anybody:)

This is helping me so much thank you. I have a test tomorrow and I can’t fail So thank you so much

divide 65.50 by 100 and you get 65.5 * .15 to get 9.825 and subtract that by 65.5 to get your answer 55.675

Good thanks. (Brit alert: how come you use an "x" in your manual multiplication to the side, and don't use it in the expression, replacing it with what to me looks like a decimal point?)

I did my homework

This is a helping video

is it like this math in cfat exam ? Please leave an answer

I'm crunch studying before my test today thanks for posting this

I'm confused, how did you come up with 85% for the second problem?

I want to ask a que

In the second problem why did you have to put zero in it's place value at 7:36? I am a bit confused by this.

OoOoO! WOW thank you! #Staysafe

10.00

the only thing i struggle with is just setting it up. If i learn how to set the problem up I can no problem work it out...the hardest part for me is just reading the stupid confusing problem and then figuring out how to set it up. And mainly because with every problem it's worded different and it changes every time...if anyone has any tricks or tips or can help me itd be greatly appreciated, I am getting ready to take my test soon and i REALLY REALLY cannot fail...I have been studying for weeks and i still struggle with these stupid word problems. I only have a couple weeks til I take the test....PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN, i can shoot you my email or whatever and would be willing to pay you or whatever

yeah

The Judy question can be done in simply way than dat long method

What about A refrigerator at Canyon View Appliances cost $2200. This price is a 25% mark up f on the wholesale price. What was the whole sale price?

Good

But nearest penny means 1p, so you only move it once? If you said nearest dollar then I would understand you moving it 2 places because 100p = $1 I get the rest except the last bit, please help!! Much love💛💛

10:00

its really hard because

Quickest way to do it is add 0. Infront of the decimal

Wow finally a video on percents thy actually made sense this was really helpful i needed to do this for my pre-algebra class thank

Where did the 100 come from🤔

Can't front. U explain it better than All others. Copy???

my teacher dose it another way he when u put 85%right there he would do 15

I

🍏🍎

i dunt get it ;-;

what if there is no 0 on one side and there is 0 on another side? please answer I am confused!

STUDYPUUUGGGG

GREATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSSMMMMMMMMMMM

Question if anyone can help me when do you use percent like how you know its a percent problem ?

Why you confuse me like that .... lol .. appreciate it though

How did you get the 85 percent ?

Easiest way = 100% - 15%=85% 85% is same as 0.85 so 65.50×0.85= 55.67

Sandy needs 30 liters of a 30% HCl solution but only has supplies of 25% HCl solution and 40% HCl solution. How much of each must Sandy mix to get the desired solution? how do u find this out

I'm confused why he multiplied 85% as 85 I thought it should be .85 first before multiplying it to 65.50 in 8:29

Why u complicate something so simple

I'm still very confused

O

Ammmm

THIS IS CONFUSING ME SO IMMA HEAD OUT BYE

good

Idk how you got that 85%

Where the heck did you get 3,600?

I interpret this problem (first one) as 6,000 is 100% of people. 6,000 = 100%. I would then find out what is the percentage on 2,400 approval rate. Since I do not know the value (%) I will name it "x". 2,400 = x. 6000 = 100% 2400 = x 6000 times x = 2400 times 100 6000x = 240,000 x = 240,000/6,000 x = 40% 40% is the approval rate, which in turn leaves me with a 60% of disapproval rate.

Attention 🔴⚫🔴 so the easy way for the first question is an easy formula which is : original value - New Value/ original value × 100. Solution:- 6000 - 2400 = 3600 3600÷6000×100 = 60% Thnx for ur time!

First problem was explained good but the second problem forget it how did he come up with 85℅

😫😫😫😫

kids have no excuse to be bad at math today...adults too (guilty*)
