    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.

    You made percentage so freaking easy. I knew how to do it but I still struggled and out of all the youtubers on percentage I got your way so fast. The way you explained it made it so simple. Thank you and you got a new subscriber

    I'm currently in 7th grade and this stuff helps me proceed a higher grade in my mathematics.

    I applied for a job as Executive Secretary. OMG. The test was 1h 30m. English: spelling, vocabulary, text interpretation, office routines. 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 ปีที่แล้ว

      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 ปีที่แล้ว

      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.
