You can actually just divide the percentage by hundred and multiply with the given number for eg.
8% of 60= 8/100×60 = 4.8
so good
Randomly came across this video and thought, "Why not?" Turned out that I actually learned something lol. This really helps! Thank you so much!
Where were you in '95 when I needed you most? lGreat job - you've achieved in 11 minutes what my math teacher failed to accomplish in 12 years. Kudos sir
For real, he is doing fantastic stuff. Deep down I always believed this was possible - for things to be explained better.
I'm in my 50s and wish I had been taught this way. Very clear explanations, thanks.
now 55 yay c:
You are not alone. I am in my 30s and still single. So ladies if you are looking for a sexy guy. Then there are some available out there. 🤭🤭🤭🤫
DesiredJessi that said they are in their 50s they can be any age from 50-59 lol
@@mayokuno1524 ik just guessing lol
DesiredJessi ok lol
I just spent the last hour doing math - for fun! Unbelievable. You are the best teacher I’ve come across in 43 years! I don’t think I will ever say I hate math again! It’s midnight and I don’t want to stop doing math problems.
I see people here getting their lives saved by this video while I'm sitting here past midnight learning math for fun. What has my life come to?

Retraining my Brain because somehow can’t sleep and like numbers 👀🤣🤣
Your voice and method of teaching thrills me... as an adult, I never thought this was teachable to me anymore... 🙌🏽
Thank you!!! I truly mean it.
You have helped me out so much. I'm in 5th grade, and after I finished watching, it was clearly locked in my brain. Great explanations.
:0 so youre now in 11th, amazing
u goin into college now ( ๐_๐)
Time flies, this kid is in college now.
Damn
Oh same I’m in grade 5
it took this guy less than 10 minutes to teach me something I didn't learn properly at school or the years after.
Thank you.
You've broken down my fear of math. The anxiety of math made me avoid it like the plague. Now I'm actually enjoying math! Just wow. Thank you so much for this!

Now why didnt i see this video during my school days..!!! Im now the king of % calculations..!!! Thank you sir..!!
I'm so glad that my teacher had shown this to me last year. I check out allot of your videos when I'm having trouble in my Algebra 1 class.
Calm Aussie accent and common sense, both helped give me an extra tool to working out percentages . It helps keeps one in touch with the original math logic so often lost with calculators. THANK YOU ALL THE WAY FROM DUBAI. Bet you didn't expect fans this far out eh ?!
I love you man. I started watching all your videos on how to do math in my head and I can easily solve problems faster than a calculator 👌 I truly recommend this guy for you guys this genius way to do math is one of many that helped me overcome my fear for math now I love it
Thanks so so much dude its been like a few minutes and i know more than a week studying maths in school Why does school even exist UA-cam HAS IT ALL
But would you be looking this up if it weren’t for school?
@@MAVENdeNYC problem is school should be the reason you don't have to look this up.
honestly I learn more from youtube then school! "look it up on youtube"-teacher
Omg lol youre so right screw school love you tube
MAVEN true
Not all heroes wear capes

T33K4Y | Plot twist: He is actually a hero and he's wearing a cape
He said hes not wearing a cape.
I love Spiderman!!!
What about the ones that do wear capes...🤔
Schools should teach people percantages like this.
Your voice is so hypnotic... Excellent way of explanation. When I was a kid if you would have been my teacher I would be doing much better in my life..:(
For me it's distracting and quite nasally. Accents make the distraction worse.
@@Flielow His Australian His Accent shouldn’t Matter his message is Great 😊
@@Flielow everyone in the world speaks with an accent. You have an accent
65 years later, your formula is retained and easily attainable. Thankyou, bless you.🙏💖
Thankyou SO MUCH!!! - I am revising for my entrance exam into Teacher Training.
Your videos are so relaxed and confidently presented.
Perfect for a Flipped curriculum
I have an aptitude test tomorrow and you have just made things much much simpler, thanks a million
31 years old. Never got the hang of percentages. This. Literal lightbulb moment. Thankyou!
I sometimes watch this mans videos on an evening while drinking a beer. I was remedial class for Maths never sunk in at all. This guy gets me flying through them in less than 10 minutes. I need this sort of stuff under my belt because my son getting at that age were he needs the help with homework of this nature, and without this I would be of no help. What can i say its brilliant tutorial thank you again.
It's so cool that you decided to help people who need help in math over youtube. you helped alot
This is seriously the best thing ever! I have always been terrible at math and have been struggling to help my daughter and then I found this! I could cry because I can actually understand this!!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Wow. I'm 26 and never learned this. Thanks so much this is so helpful!
It's grade 12 and I'm reviewing all these basic concepts like log decision and multiplication but now everything is a freaking logoriyhem and IM FREAKIG OUT.
Thank you for you calming voice, it is an oasis in a desert of pain.
I'm tempted to just drop out of school and base my learning on you! Omg such a great teacher, thank you!
don't do it!!!!!!!111
your a hero lots of teachers tried to explain this to me and i never got it except when i came here your the bestttt
ty my guy this video is freaking 5 years old but it still helped me
I can't thank you enough for this! Never had a teacher who could explain percentages to me, always had to rely on calculators. But now it's so simple! It's surprisingly fun to do math, when you know what you're supposed to be doing!
Wow I like this way.. It's great for people who don't understand or have a difficult time.
45 years old- revisiting maths from school (70’s & 80’s) learned more in a 10 minute video than years of maths in the state school system-UK states school suck-having to do the same with gramma,
Really great to discover I actually like maths 🇬🇧 thanks for the video 👍🏻
Throw it at the fan!
Nowadays you have the facility in youtube to pin your/a comment to the top
Yeah best teacher ever
Best teacher helped me pass my exams wish he taught other subjects too
Wish UA-cam channels like this was around when I was in secondary school! You’re a great teacher
Just multiply it without changing the percentage and then remove the percentage
12% x 80= 960% = 9.6
51% x 70 = 3570% = 35.7
98% x 680 = 66640 = 666.4
21% x 60= 1260% = 12.6
jigmi lama how to solve percentages MENTALLY. Did you really multiplied 98 by 680 MENTALLY?
Uea its easy are you like a 3rd grader(sorry for bad english im from denmark)
Morris Andersen Or your just some 5 year old.
jigmi lama I think i just got tricked into doing it the hard way this time.
.
brilliant videos ... will be studying using these to help me achieve a better score in my return to practice nursing maths exam
How did you go? Oh the dreaded nursing maths!
💯
Your videos are life changing! I've struggled with this sort of stuff forever but now I can finally do it! Thank you!
Omg you are the best teacher I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to. My grandson and I have mastered this today, cause I’d totally forgotten how to do it.
Your videos are amazing. Thank you so much
brilliant video!! this helps me majorly, and i'm barely seeing this 3 years after it was posted!!
Kids have it so easy to learn outside of school now thanks to youtube and people like you. amazing work.
who else hasn't started learning percentage in school and just wants to learn this for fun :) ?
me
Lol me
Meh
Thank you my friend. I am an Engineering Technologists for DOH, I love math...that being said I love it even more even in my spare time. Thank you again.
I just have to say, you explain this all in a really coherent and helpful way, for the last few weeks I've been utterly terrified about even beginning to tackle the numerical reasoning section of my UKCAT exam, but this is really informative and helpful, it's sort of helped deconstruct the mental barrier of "shit I can't do this at all" to "oh shit, I actually can do this!" thanks a lot man, I owe you one.
Half a year of math and I could of watched 11 minutes of this! Great help
I wish you had been my Math Teacher in high school!!
You sir are a legend. Why couldn't they have just shown me ways like this to do sums at school? You have saved me an enormous amount of time and money so a HUGE thank you from me.
Can't believe how easy this makes it.
literally a lifesaver I’m studying for a HUGE math test that’s worth basically my whole grade and this is a LIFESAVER THANK YOU
What a great teacher!
Only started watching these on my lunch breaks yesterday and got them all right in my head. 34 years of not knowing.
Why couldn’t I get him as my teacher 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I literally watch a few of his videos and learnt more than I ever did throughout my years of being at school bearing in mind I’m going university next year
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!
for years ive been strugling with these precentage problems but now i can do it in a BREEZE thanks to you!!!
my whole life was a lie :L Thank You So Much for the lesson :D
Thank you so much! I've been trying to study for my maths test that is coming up and I just couldn't grasp the concept the way that my teacher had taught me, so I decided to do a quick search on youtube and this has been a lifesaver. Thank you so much man!
love percentages now. thanks to you and only you. thank you
Thank you so very much for the simply way you have taught me percentages. I am now 41 and it’s the first time I have understood the bloody things…who would have thought, a POHM saying thank you to an Aussie! Now if you could just teach our chaps to bat, bowl and catch I wouldn't be endlessly embarrassed.
So you said 'bloody', so I'm guessing your english. H.M. I would assume is for her majesty. Does that make it 'person/people of her majesty'?
Acronym solving is fun.... unless I'm wrong. Then it's only 14% fun!
naperdood You are quite correct, I am an English chap who resides within its Isles. POHM actually means Prisoner of Her Majesty. It was given to English criminals who's punishment was to be sent so Australia and bask on its endless beaches...such was the justest system long ago!
Im in 2019 and wtf u made math simple thank u so much got my asvab tomorrow
Really like the way your teaching method works and I think if kids and adults learn more from you in a 11 minute video than at school it shows that some teachers need to adapt teaching practices as everybody's
learning style is different.
THANK YOU SO MUCH MAY GOD BLESS YOU. I love math now.
Exactly
Man after watching your videos I'm giddy like a kid!! I'm actually excited to do math after decades of pure hate for all things math! Thank you so much, I feel like I can actually accomplish my dream of being an RN now (need to know pre calc.) Please keep posting more videos😆
oh my jesus Christ thank you so much u saved my life with this video. good man
If I ran an airline I’d have tecmath as one of the inflight tv channels.
Then run an airline you should!
Sleep well!
You"re an excellent teacher, but sometimes I can"t hear you.
Same
I had all volume settings at maximum on my computer, but my hearing is also poor in my right ear. I could just about hear it with the left headphone pushed hard against my ear. The solution is not necessarily to speak louder, but to increase the volume in the editing program. Always run a video first before posting to YT, so any such shortcomings can be corrected. An ad played at the end of this video and was so loud it almost burst my eardrum. That is one of the problems caused by posting a video with the sound level too low.
Take that earwax out of your ear and unclog your ear. I think if you stopped using your headphones so much, you may not go deaf overboard. 🤗🤗🤭
His voice made me think I had to pop my ears
Then turn ya hearing aids up
Thank you for doing this. This is a method that goes with the way i try to do math in my head. When you explained the decimal place jump to relate 10% and 1%, it felt like everything clicked in my head. I've been so blind and now i could see more clearly. !!!!! Awesome stuff, man. 😊😊😊
your are an amazing teacher but the problem is that i have to repeat several times to understand what you are saying.please try to make your voice a bit louder so we all can hear or just use the microphone thats better
Sample: 87% of 300 = 261
"Remember" - Percentage is always have dot to the left side ".87" if you going to multiply it. so multiply ".87" to "300" to get the right answer.
300
* .87
-------------
= 26100 . move the dot "." from right to left twice.
= 261
France Mantua Thank you so much for making this comment. I had SO much trouble with percents like this and then I saw your comment, tried it out my self and got the problem correct! Now I got A on my test, thank you dude.
+France THANKS SO MUCH
France Mantua thank you may god bless you
France Mantua Yeah I think that is the method they teach you in school etc. This video is a great way if you need to do it in your head and quickly without a calculator though.
I couldnt find any single video which uses your methods.....I love them..thank you so much!!!!!
you are a great teacher
You are the only teacher who teaches proper! You are the reason I will succeed in my goals.thank you SIR.
For a future reference you should be one of those yoga teachers with your calm soothing voice LIKE the comment if u think so TOO!!!!
ikr
You're like the Bob Ross of math. Why couldn't my teachers be this easy thirty years ago?
This is a great method. Thanks alot!
But please next time talk louder we cant hear you very good even with the volume all the way up.
I wasn't taught these short cuts in school, but I guess that we were taught the basics well enough that I did it on my own, as did my brother, my husband and most of his family. I guess that only happens when you really enjoy math and like to play with it. Your method of instruction is perfect, explaining what we instinctively did very, very well.
Thank you so much, this has helped me a lot.
From one teacher to another....YOU SIR ARE A GREAT TEACHER!
Teachers are undervalued, underpaid and overworked....put them all into government and we'll see how much change comes about.
I remember watching this video for the first time 6 years ago. It completely changed the way I look at math
You can just do 80 ÷ 100 to work out 1% and then × it by how much percentage there is. E.G 0.8 × 12 = 9.6
Your example is better thanks
Been struggling with percentages for weeks you have opened my eyes
OR; "56% of 440" [1% is 4.40] [4.40 x 56% = 246.4]
(42%) [42% x 0.42 = 18.9]
etc...(1% of the givin # times the % amount )
for those who didn't learn it back in 5th grade.. Duh lol, jk ;) gl
(comment or like if your studying for the military! (*:
Sam Hillfoughr yeah, that's exactly my point too... ;)
Thank you very much.. because of you I learned how to work percentages problems and I did passed my ILTS TEST!
also, why not just multiply the 1% by whatever it is you need to figure out? .6 x 21 = 12.6
You can absolutely do that he just want to have a slow pacing so you can understand
+noma hhh That's smart, thanks for telling me that:D
Andy Lin when I tried this method I completely failed, what could have gone wrong? The problem I failed on was 98% of 680 and I got 364.4
well, the way I attack it is 100% - 2*1%
100% = 680
-2*1% = - 13.6
680 - 13.6 = 666.4
9.8×68=666.4
Thank you! I have a test tomorrow and had no idea of percentages but now I do, thank you!
I didnt get anything iam still confused
This is my new favorite UA-cam channel .
nice but can't hear it well
im 16 and this is the first time someone told me about this. My life is going to be so much easier
11.09....isnt 10%of 220=22, and half of that is 5%????
Yes...but in the video he's doing 10% of 440=44 and half that is 5% which equals 22.
So what half of 10 percent is 11 or divide by 10 in 50 per ent
After 4 years of constant confusion...I finally understand this! Thank you so much!
talk louder please,i cant hear what you are trying to say my speaker and or my headphones cant pick youf voice up please speak louder
me too i think its bcs of his deep voice
This is great. In some countries (mine) we dont use an "x" as a multiply sign. We use a dot and we place it in the middle of numbers multiplied. If it's a "point something".... the dot goes on the bottom
Great teacher, one complaint: I don't like how you write decimals
bruh.. ;-;
I know right, rip to those people with OCD ;p
Best teach ever. I struggle with decimals and now I feel like I know more than anyone
couldn't you just do 12% X 80 = 960 then move the decimal place so it becomes 9.6???
Yes you can do it that way
PS. 12% X 80 =/= 960, 12 X 80 =960, if you put 12% X 80 = 960/100. 12% = 12/100.
It bug me seeing 12% X 80 = 960
Yes much easier for me
I was always struggling with this ..I wish if I could have got any teacher like u I might not be afraid of maths at that time..Now I can atleast help my daughter ..Thanks
You are speaking loud enough
When I solved the problem myself using ur method my jaw DROPPED! thank you!
i am really stupid and this is not helping me at all
Don't give up!
Yes u are stupid
Just multiply both numbers and move the decimal in the answer 2 spaces to the left
Ex: 51% of 70
51x70=3570
So the answer would be 35.7
Just always remember to take the zero off at the end of the number
Tuna Sub don't say that nobody is stupid
Tuna Sub hahaha look in the mirror😑
I loveee this teacher ,this teacher is fast and I understand more
