    The only problem i have with this is when you take for ex. 24% of 60 div by 10 = 2.4 x 6. The 2*6 is easy enough to calculate (12). But the 0.4*6 is also just 40% of 6. And i find it hard to do in my head... In that case i could just do the whole problem like this 24% of 60 as 0,24* 60... But yeah, everything ells makes alot of sense. Thanks :)

    Thank you, basically either two numbers divided by 10 and that = 100 what you totally divided and after that the multiplication. Or one number divided by 100 and after that the multiplication.

    I have trouble with questions like what % is 130 of 200. I also had a very interesting issue at work with some chemical lab test results which involved a sample from our work measured against the Lab reference. So work sample was 1000 and lab reference was 900 (which never changes) The % difference they gave was (I think 0.9%) but on investigation I believed it was wrong because they used the 1000 as the reference meaning 900 is a "decrease" from the 1000 so % difference = 0.9% The correct way should always be made from the 900 reference so it should be 1000 is an "increase" from the lab reference of 900 which is 10.1% What do you think?

    • @tecmath
      @tecmath  Рік тому

      130 of 200 would be worked out 130 divided by 200 x 100 = 65%
