Estimating the Percent of Another Number

[@patrickjmt]

haha, i know what you mean. this is not what most people expect to see from me. i am probably going to make some videos soon about dealing with arithmetic of integers, so do not be surprised ;)

[@patrickjmt]

i have videos on adding whole numbers, so this is probably not the easiest :)

[@patrickjmt]

and honestly, if i were calculating a tip at a restaurant in my head, i am thinking about multiplication with a decimal, not fractions.

[@patrickjmt]

just another way of explaining it. in another example when i use fractions i get the comment: dude, why dont you just use decimals and multiply, it is much easier.

[@PSNB92]

Haha. Well, the only reason I was a bit surprised is that I often stumble across your videos when looking up something that's a bit more advanced. I wasn't aware that you covered basic things like this as well.
Anyway, keep up the good work! I truly appreciate it!

[@patrickjmt]

i read it :) thanks for the nice words

[@patrickjmt]

and don't be shocked: not everyone is taking algebraic topology! ;) (not that i have videos on that stuff)

Thanks so much!!! I'm in 7th grade and I have a test on this tomorrow, I get it now

[@AlchemistOfNirnroot]

God, I remember doing these, now we're algebra!

[@SunkenDPr0]

why do you use 0.20 .... ive always learned that fractions that simplify are the best way to teach basic stuff

[@TheXxGreatxXOne]

You prob wont read this but I just started 1st year engineering and god is it hard. Your vids have been awesome so far! Well not that this one applies to me tho haha

[@thagodfather007]

lol i remember problems like these back in elementary school

[@suniljohn6927]

thx

[@PSNB92]

This is probably the easiest thing you've ever made a video on, I'm shocked.
