Missed the previous lesson?

Pre-Algebra on Khan Academy: No way, this isn't your run of the mill arithmetic. This is Pre-algebra. You're about to play with the professionals. Think of pre-algebra as a runway. You're the airplane and algebra is your sunny vacation destination. Without the runway you're not going anywhere. Seriously, the foundation for all higher mathematics is laid with many of the concepts that we will introduce to you here: negative numbers, absolute value, factors, multiples, decimals, and fractions to name a few. So buckle up and move your seat into the upright position. We're about to take off!

I was homeschooled horribly in math. As a young adult and looking to enter college ... I find that my early education and honestly my entire life would've been significantly better if I knew about Khan Academy back then.

Thank you now I’m sooo ready for my math test today

Something that helped me with this was multiplying the percent such as 87%x 1/100, except lose the % symbol on a calculator, to get the percent to a fraction or multiplying 87 by .01 to get it into decimal form. Not sure how far this can take you but it has solved a few problems for myself on certain tests.
