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

[inuyashaanime]

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!

[sparkt]

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!

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

[epicarber]

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

[dorothymarks]

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

[dsawyer]

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 ?

[mikeygilbert]

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)

[blubalz]

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

[ya]

5:44 how do you come up with 85% i am confused

Is this correct 100-85 = 15 ?? Or 100-15= 85
