    Today I am still just a little kid but I'm doing 6th-grade math. Now I'm doing 6th-grade math word problems. At first time I can't just do a single problem. But when I saw these videos from you I've mastered it now. I can even teach on social media and even teach calculus at entire primary schools! Thanks Eric Buffington.

    I truly thank you for helping us all about word problems, how to calculate sales tax, discounts and how to convert percent to decimals (which I had forgotten because I did it a long time ago)

    Wow, thanks for teaching this. It really helped me. When I was a kid, I wanted math to be one of the better subjects, but it was hard to figure out some of these math problems. I've been brushing up on my math skills for a year and have been watching your videos to get a better understanding. I finally get the concepts now and this is a much easier way of doing the math.

MATH: massive test on percentage, word problems on all kind of percentage from basic to advanced and very complicated. You have to read over and over, and 1h and 30m flies. Even if you know everything, you have to manage the time, otherwise fail.

    • @himynameis8296
      @himynameis8296 5 років тому

      Fariha Yesmin With discount problems just convert the decimal of the discount percent by dividing by 100, then multiply with the total price to find the discount price and if it asks for the the total With the discount, you subtract the discount price you got the first time from the total to find the total price with the discount

    • @tehrealmsingh5395
      @tehrealmsingh5395 4 роки тому

      Ok I know this is super late but instead of thinking about it "dividing by 100" you can think "move the decimal twice to the left" it may seem complicated but it is easier to remember to me.
