Thankyou this I always struggle with percentages and how teachers think it will click in our heads the first go as soon as they have explained it but this helped so much! Thankyou!
Great job. Always good to refresh the brain... Sidenote, at the end of your video you gave three examples, question #2 was 36% of 42 But you worked it out as 36% of 420. That had me scratching my head for a minute, and rethinking my ability to do math lol.
18% is much easier as 20% - 2% (repeated significant digits is a hint at less work) 18% of 300 is 20% = 10% x 2 = 60 2% = 10% x 60 = 6 18% = 60 - 6 = 54.
found an easier method of calculating 38% of 127: find 10% of 127, times the 12.7 by 3, find 1% of 127, times the 1.27 by 8, giving you 38.1 and 10.16 to add together and find your answer
found an easier way For 38% of 127 Find 50 % Then find 10 % minus them together For 40% then find 1% the Times it by 2 For 2% Then Miuns 40% with 2 % Then answer
I would do 38% like this 20% = 10% x 2 2% = 20% / 10 40% = 20% x 2 38% = 40% - 2% or if you're feeling super smart 20% = 10% x 2 19% = 20% - 1% 38% = 19% x 2 So 38% of 127 is 20% x 127 = 25.4 19% x 127 = 25.4 - 1.27 = 24.13 38% x 127 = 48.26
I think this video goes over everything I already know but it was a useful recap but how would you find out what 69/92 would be as a percentage? It came up as a question for non-calculator but I had no idea how to do it...Is there any other TH-cam video I can watch to help me with this? Thanks for any replies ❤
That's a great question. If you have a fraction like that and are trying to do it without a calculator then have a look to see if the fraction will simplify down to an equivalent fraction that you are familiar with. In this example the fraction simplifies down to 3/4 (you get this by dividing the numerator and denominator by 23. It's a tricky one to spot!) and 3/4 is 75%. Hope that helps!
@@MathsKitchen Thank you!!!! It's hard to spot numbers that can simplify like those but every time I see a question like this I'll use the advice you gave me! ❤
You didn't make 38 percent of 127 easy enough on yourself. Easiest way is to do 127 x 40 in your head and work from there. For me I can reach 5080 easily there because 127*4 is 508 and you then 10x proportionally. From there you know you need to take 2*127 from 5080 to actually get the number to move over 2 decimals. So pretty easy in your head to know 2*127 is 254 and now subtract 254 from 5080 in your head, this is actually the hardest part with my method. But 254 from 5000 is 4746 then add 80 and you've got 4826. Now move over 2 decimals and it's 48.26. I did it in one step in 30 seconds without writing anything down.
Oh my god you don’t know how much I struggle in school with these thanks for making this so much easier
I have been trying to grasp percentage for a couple days now, this method just made everything click. thank you.
Glad we don't need to use the skittles method anymore. I'd always eat 100% of them.
That was not a very healthy video to make!
great video!!! i was getting stuck using the b over a x 100 = % method without using a calculator this makes it a lot simpler to do on my own
I'm redoing my GCSE maths and always struggled with percentages so thank you
You're welcome - good luck with your retakes!
I'm glad this is helping you! :D
on question 2 at the end um the question was 36% of 42 but you worked out 36% of 420
other than that great video
Get this my teacher have been tryna teach me this but I never understood now I do thanks .it's 5am and I'm writing this at 8am ❤❤thank
Thankyou this I always struggle with percentages and how teachers think it will click in our heads the first go as soon as they have explained it but this helped so much! Thankyou!
Wow thank you explained so well I can watch this repeatedly
Glad it was helpful!

Good spot, thanks for pointing it out - I hadn't noticed that before!
My goodness Me, you are very focused and meticulous person.
18% is much easier as 20% - 2% (repeated significant digits is a hint at less work)
18% of 300 is
20% = 10% x 2 = 60
2% = 10% x 60 = 6
18% = 60 - 6 = 54.
Your better at teaching then most colleges
Brilliant breakdown of percentages, simplified.
Thank you very much. It did really allow me to get faster at my tests 🙏🙏🙏
this helped, thank you
This is cool James thank you!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it!
I'm from Pakistan thanks for solving my problem of percentage
Thank you very much for uploading this video.this video is so helpful
it helped a shit ton thanks a lot

This is the easiest thanks Bud

Thanks for the helpful vid keep on doing the good work❤🎉😢😂😮😊
Thank you so much sir
How did you find the .75 ?
You saved me in my exams
Thank you for this video!
You're welcome!
I would do 38% like this
20% = 10% x 2
2% = 20% / 10
40% = 20% x 2
38% = 40% - 2%
or if you're feeling super smart
20% = 10% x 2
19% = 20% - 1%
38% = 19% x 2
So 38% of 127 is
20% x 127 = 25.4
19% x 127 = 25.4 - 1.27 = 24.13
38% x 127 = 48.26
11:41 the question asked for 36% of 42 not 420. got confused for a second there
Sorry about that, Jack - I made a mistake on that one!
Totally screwed with my mind, but guess what? His methodology still applied and I figured it out 🎉 Awesome.
Thank you very much!
You're welcome!
Examiner watching me playing with skittles during my non calculator exam 😮
Thanku so much now I can solve any prblm...
GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you earned a subscriber and a like :)
Thanks!
38% of 127 = 3,8×12,7=48,26
its actually 3.8 x 127
Can you do a dividing fractions video, please. I love your channel.
Thank you! Great idea, dividing fractions video coming up (it'll take a couple of weeks as there's already a couple of others in the pipeline).
Dividing fractions is up! th-cam.com/video/DFrSFiq5Hwk/w-d-xo.html
bro 4 years later and im just now getn here
i missed something.. isnt 36% of 42 : 15.12 and not 151.2?
Yes! Good spot. I made a mistake - I calculate the answer for 36% of 420 instead of 42.
You should have done 114% multiply by any number
How do you do 75% of285 ?
Thanks for liking my comment
You’re welcome 😊

Do % of decimals aswell with word problems.
20 %?????
use smarties next time they are less sticky
James do you eat all the skittles after? 😂
There is quite a high possibility that happened! 😄
@@MathsKitchen haha
If you’re calculating by paper and open why couldn’t you just multiply .38 with 127 🫰🏻
Say thank u for this guy he is atleast helping u. takes courage to post on youtube bc if u mess up=hate on youtube so yh
