    Okay so I was studying for the Hesi exam but for some reason the percentages kept confusing me. I found this video the day before my exam and it literally saved my life! I was able to use this method for at least 40 of the 55 questions. I can’t thank you enough!!!!!

      Ok so I have a math test including some of this has no notes and I have no idea how I am going to memorize so many things anyway so why doesn’t it work for all of the problems (that’s what I am wondering

      What percent were you able to use this on? 40 out of 55 questions, what percent is that?

    Mr. Thompson -> Putting a sentence together and showing a demonstrable use of your equation is excellent and I wish my math teachers many years ago would have used this technique for algebraic equations etc. Thank You very much .

    My kid’s math workbook has a really complicated way of solving percentage problems using “a number is a percent of another number” - what a bunch of baloney!
    Your explanation is so much less complicated. The “is over of” is the best!
    Thank you for your vid and thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😀
