I just spent the last hour doing math - for fun! Unbelievable. You are the best teacher I’ve come across in 43 years! I don’t think I will ever say I hate math again! It’s midnight and I don’t want to stop doing math problems.
You've broken down my fear of math. The anxiety of math made me avoid it like the plague. Now I'm actually enjoying math! Just wow. Thank you so much for this!
I can't thank you enough for this! Never had a teacher who could explain percentages to me, always had to rely on calculators. But now it's so simple! It's surprisingly fun to do math, when you know what you're supposed to be doing!
Really like the way your teaching method works and I think if kids and adults learn more from you in a 11 minute video than at school it shows that some teachers need to adapt teaching practices as everybody's learning style is different.
Thank you my friend. I am an Engineering Technologists for DOH, I love math...that being said I love it even more even in my spare time. Thank you again.
This video is from 2013 and your still saving lives! I've passed months trying to understand stupid percentages and I could now say marvelous percentages! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!
Man after watching your videos I'm giddy like a kid!! I'm actually excited to do math after decades of pure hate for all things math! Thank you so much, I feel like I can actually accomplish my dream of being an RN now (need to know pre calc.) Please keep posting more videos😆
Just multiply it without changing the percentage and then remove the percentage 12% x 80= 960% = 9.6 51% x 70 = 3570% = 35.7 98% x 680 = 66640 = 666.4 21% x 60= 1260% = 12.6
I had all volume settings at maximum on my computer, but my hearing is also poor in my right ear. I could just about hear it with the left headphone pushed hard against my ear. The solution is not necessarily to speak louder, but to increase the volume in the editing program. Always run a video first before posting to YT, so any such shortcomings can be corrected. An ad played at the end of this video and was so loud it almost burst my eardrum. That is one of the problems caused by posting a video with the sound level too low.
Why couldn’t I get him as my teacher 🥺🥺🥺🥺 I literally watch a few of his videos and learnt more than I ever did throughout my years of being at school bearing in mind I’m going university next year
Great video, your method is very easy to understand and practice. Breaking down the numbers into constituent percentages and then adding them up is a great way to calculate difficult percentages. Thanks for the explanations.
Your voice is so hypnotic... Excellent way of explanation. When I was a kid if you would have been my teacher I would be doing much better in my life..:(
I just got back to school after not having been there for 2 1/2 months. I have a summative on percentages tomorrow and the teachers wouldn't help me out. I've been up for an hour so far trying to learn and this video is starting to make sense.
Where were you in '95 when I needed you most? lGreat job - you've achieved in 11 minutes what my math teacher failed to accomplish in 12 years. Kudos sir
your are an amazing teacher but the problem is that i have to repeat several times to understand what you are saying.please try to make your voice a bit louder so we all can hear or just use the microphone thats better
Sample: 87% of 300 = 261 "Remember" - Percentage is always have dot to the left side ".87" if you going to multiply it. so multiply ".87" to "300" to get the right answer. 300 * .87 ------------- = 26100 . move the dot "." from right to left twice. = 261
France Mantua Thank you so much for making this comment. I had SO much trouble with percents like this and then I saw your comment, tried it out my self and got the problem correct! Now I got A on my test, thank you dude.
France Mantua Yeah I think that is the method they teach you in school etc. This video is a great way if you need to do it in your head and quickly without a calculator though.
I love you man. I started watching all your videos on how to do math in my head and I can easily solve problems faster than a calculator 👌 I truly recommend this guy for you guys this genius way to do math is one of many that helped me overcome my fear for math now I love it
Thankyou SO MUCH!!! - I am revising for my entrance exam into Teacher Training. Your videos are so relaxed and confidently presented. Perfect for a Flipped curriculum
I've just watched a vid of yours, dated April 1st '21 and you showed an easy percentage trick "we were never taught". Okay, it was great. However, this has, literally, thrown everything you said on that vid right out of the window!!!!!! My head is scrambled and my brain hurts.
This way of learning arithmetic is like tinkering with numbers -- you can follow remembered external rules to arrive at an answer, or test fit various manipulations successively in order to close in on a solution. An error in one approach is easily discovered by the other method!
I just have to say, you explain this all in a really coherent and helpful way, for the last few weeks I've been utterly terrified about even beginning to tackle the numerical reasoning section of my UKCAT exam, but this is really informative and helpful, it's sort of helped deconstruct the mental barrier of "shit I can't do this at all" to "oh shit, I actually can do this!" thanks a lot man, I owe you one.

You can actually just divide the percentage by hundred and multiply with the given number for eg.
8% of 60= 8/100×60 = 4.8
so good
it took this guy less than 10 minutes to teach me something I didn't learn properly at school or the years after.
Thank you.
You've broken down my fear of math. The anxiety of math made me avoid it like the plague. Now I'm actually enjoying math! Just wow. Thank you so much for this!

I'm so glad that my teacher had shown this to me last year. I check out allot of your videos when I'm having trouble in my Algebra 1 class.
31 years old. Never got the hang of percentages. This. Literal lightbulb moment. Thankyou!
Your videos are life changing! I've struggled with this sort of stuff forever but now I can finally do it! Thank you!

Randomly came across this video and thought, "Why not?" Turned out that I actually learned something lol. This really helps! Thank you so much!
Wow I like this way.. It's great for people who don't understand or have a difficult time.
I'm in my 50s and wish I had been taught this way. Very clear explanations, thanks.

who else hasn't started learning percentage in school and just wants to learn this for fun :) ?
me
Lol me
Meh
Been struggling with percentages for weeks you have opened my eyes
Just multiply it without changing the percentage and then remove the percentage
12% x 80= 960% = 9.6
51% x 70 = 3570% = 35.7
98% x 680 = 66640 = 666.4
21% x 60= 1260% = 12.6
jigmi lama how to solve percentages MENTALLY. Did you really multiplied 98 by 680 MENTALLY?
Uea its easy are you like a 3rd grader(sorry for bad english im from denmark)
Morris Andersen Or your just some 5 year old.
jigmi lama I think i just got tricked into doing it the hard way this time.

This is my new favorite RUclips channel .
Thanks so so much dude its been like a few minutes and i know more than a week studying maths in school Why does school even exist RUclips HAS IT ALL
But would you be looking this up if it weren’t for school?
@@MAVENdeNYC problem is school should be the reason you don't have to look this up.
honestly I learn more from youtube then school! "look it up on youtube"-teacher
Omg lol youre so right screw school love you tube
MAVEN true
this channel is such a big blessing
You"re an excellent teacher, but sometimes I can"t hear you.

Take that earwax out of your ear and unclog your ear. I think if you stopped using your headphones so much, you may not go deaf overboard. 🤗🤗🤭
His voice made me think I had to pop my ears
Then turn ya hearing aids up
I've always struggled in this and I've gotta say this is the most helpful video for this topic.
Can't believe how easy this makes it.
Though the audio might not be clear but his renditions are clear.
So am enjoying it bravo
my whole life was a lie :L Thank You So Much for the lesson :D
Thank you so much I used to struggle on this so much but now I'm so confident with it this really helped me out!
Teachers are undervalued, underpaid and overworked....put them all into government and we'll see how much change comes about.
I'm taking the ACT in December and you helped me SO MUCH!!! THANK YOU!!!

For me it's distracting and quite nasally. Accents make the distraction worse.

Best teach ever. I struggle with decimals and now I feel like I know more than anyone
You have helped me out so much. I'm in 5th grade, and after I finished watching, it was clearly locked in my brain. Great explanations.
:0 so youre now in 11th, amazing
u goin into college now ( ๐_๐)
Time flies, this kid is in college now.
Damn
Oh same I’m in grade 5
I remember watching this video for the first time 6 years ago. It completely changed the way I look at math
For a future reference you should be one of those yoga teachers with your calm soothing voice LIKE the comment if u think so TOO!!!!

For real, he is doing fantastic stuff. Deep down I always believed this was possible - for things to be explained better.
Thank you so much for this ur the only one that’s actually helped all the other vids be confusing
I wish you had been my Math Teacher in high school!!
Schools should teach people percantages like this.
This is a great method. Thanks alot!
But please next time talk louder we cant hear you very good even with the volume all the way up.
I love this teacher. Thank you.
Wow. I'm 26 and never learned this. Thanks so much this is so helpful!
Great n simple method. Never thought calculating % will be so easy and fun.

thanks so much this is super easy now
i am really confident about my maths test tomorrow

talk louder please,i cant hear what you are trying to say my speaker and or my headphones cant pick youf voice up please speak louder
me too i think its bcs of his deep voice
I knew all of this except...move the decimal 2 places to find 1%, helps a TON!!! Thanks!!
Your voice and method of teaching thrills me... as an adult, I never thought this was teachable to me anymore... 🙌🏽
Thank you!!! I truly mean it.
Great video helps alot
It's so cool that you decided to help people who need help in math over youtube. you helped alot

oh my jesus Christ thank you so much u saved my life with this video. good man
I like your teaching style thanks
I didnt get anything iam still confused
You make math actually fun and easy, thank you!
Im in 2019 and wtf u made math simple thank u so much got my asvab tomorrow
you're a very good teacher. you deserve a promotion. lol
You are speaking loud enough

11.09....isnt 10%of 220=22, and half of that is 5%????
Yes...but in the video he's doing 10% of 440=44 and half that is 5% which equals 22.
So what half of 10 percent is 11 or divide by 10 in 50 per ent
thank you for teaching me so much
love percentages now. thanks to you and only you. thank you
Very good video. Very clear and easy to understand. Thanks!
also, why not just multiply the 1% by whatever it is you need to figure out? .6 x 21 = 12.6
You can absolutely do that he just want to have a slow pacing so you can understand
+noma hhh That's smart, thanks for telling me that:D
Andy Lin when I tried this method I completely failed, what could have gone wrong? The problem I failed on was 98% of 680 and I got 364.4
well, the way I attack it is 100% - 2*1%
100% = 680
-2*1% = - 13.6
680 - 13.6 = 666.4
9.8×68=666.4
Thanks so much for a great explanation.
nice but can't hear it well
Thank you so much i cant believe that i actually understand something now!!!
You can just do 80 ÷ 100 to work out 1% and then × it by how much percentage there is. E.G 0.8 × 12 = 9.6
Your example is better thanks
now i can understand how to percentages thank you.
Excellent, thank you!!
Damn bro u just helped me with percentage ur a hero!!!
you are a great teacher
Hi Mr TechMath if using mental calculations must apply the simplest methods for 21% of 60=12.6 just simply 21/100X60=12.6 Ans.
couldn't you just do 12% X 80 = 960 then move the decimal place so it becomes 9.6???
Yes you can do it that way
PS. 12% X 80 =/= 960, 12 X 80 =960, if you put 12% X 80 = 960/100. 12% = 12/100.
It bug me seeing 12% X 80 = 960
Yes much easier for me
Thank you, finally understand how to work out percentage,
OR; "56% of 440" [1% is 4.40] [4.40 x 56% = 246.4]
(42%) [42% x 0.42 = 18.9]
etc...(1% of the givin # times the % amount )
for those who didn't learn it back in 5th grade.. Duh lol, jk ;) gl
(comment or like if your studying for the military! (*:
Sam Hillfoughr yeah, that's exactly my point too... ;)
