Earlier I used to solve these type of question using algebraic translations and was struggling with time management. This method significantly increased my accuracy and efficiency. Thank Philip. Really appreciate it.
but anyhow i applied this trick to a lot of the hardest weighted averages question and maaaan this works like crazy , thank you so much for doing this.
Hi Philip. I recently took GMAT. Watching your videos helped me immensely for quant. And this particular video was the pinnacle of it. Can't thank you enough for all your efforts put in these videos. May you get all that you wanted and a lot more in life.
All the way from Nigeria, I am really glad to be a subscriber and really ecstatic particularly for this trick, I solve weighted average questions on an average of 1 min 20s, but I have been able to beat it down to 30s. my exam is 1st week in nov and ill come here to testify.
Wow!! Seriously thank you so much for all your GRE videos. Taking the exam in 2 days, your videos have been extremely helpful for clearing concepts and as last minute review. Can’t thank you enough
Seriously!! Thanks for the Videos!! This is helping me a lot more than most that I have been searching and reading. The way you explain, ingrains all the tips and tricks into my mind. My Time Management has improved a lot through your GRE Tutor Videos. Thank you.
This is hands down one of the best tricks that I could have learned while doing the GRE. I take my test on Saturday and this is such a time saver. I just want to say thank you for sharing this!
This is amazing!! I have had a lot of tutors in the past, but none have been able to get through to me. Your videos are simple and different. I can actually understand and retain everything! Thank you so much!
You are a brilliant tutor and thanks for explaining the application with questions of such different nature and difficulty, which really aids in understanding the concept.
Thanks for such an amazing lesson Philip!!! I hope I will do good in my real test with these tricks. I really find it hard to manage time and ur tricks seem to help with just that..
loved these tips and tricks by you.... i really don't like math but i guess watching and learning from your videos have made it super easy and fun solving these questions. wish you luck Sir
Hey Philip, great video I love it, i was wondering if you could make another video explaining why this even works so as to completely explain the underlying principle.
You truly deserve more Phil.. will try to get your channel a wider reach in every way possible... Please never stop uploading... Thank you so much!! :)
This was an epic shortcut. Thank you so much for this. I wish I’d discovered your videos much earlier, as it would have made studying more efficient..!!
On the last question, if 62.5 ml is the amount of cola , and then 325 ml will be the amount of lemonade, hence their sum will be 387.5. After we get this value 112.5 ml is left for water, but from question water only have 30% of the total of two containers because it only found in the first container, so that, how come 112.5 amount is left for water?
Super helpful I have watched this a couple of times when I keep forgetting 🤦♀️! Many thanks for all your great videos and for never making me feel dumb 😂
Super helpful video! Just a question though, what would be an indicator in a question that would lead one to the conclusion that it focused on weighted averages
Hey Phillip, In last question, why 70% is taken on the left hand side instead of right hand side? By convention we should take smaller number on left hand side right? Clarify my doubt please.
Hi Philip! Great video! I wonder if you can made another video explaining the basic kind of charts that appeared in the GRE and how to read them. I tried several methods to learned how to read them but I find it difficult .
hey phillip , i have a doubt on the last question, you said 1/4 of the mixture of glass B is in the resulting glass , but isn't it the calculation just for lemonade , so it is 1/4 of 65% of the resultant glass not 1/4 of the entire resultant glass. hence you cannot calculate 1/2 of 1/4 is the cola in the resultant glass. am I right?
Hello, The middle number trick is helpful, however I got a bit confused why we did a 3/8 and 5/8 when we didnt do that in the previous question. Why didnt we Keep it as M=3/5 E and E+M=120 --> 3/5E+E=120 and solved for that. The numbers were different though. E=evenning M=matinee Thanks
I got 43.75 ml for the last example. Here's my thought process: if 65% of the final mixture is lemonade then, the remaining 35% would be a mixture of water and cola. This now provides a weighted average for a water and cola mixture. Then, that 35% became my middle number while 30% and 50% where the values for water and cola respectively. Obviously, my answer was different from yours (so, possibly wrong) but I am finding it hard to pick out the error in my logic.

Thank you again for this video. Can you make a video on word problems with one/two variables from Manhattan 5 lb, or difficult word questions of ratio and proportion.
@TheTestedTutor Last part: 65% of 500 ml= 325 ml lemonade in mixture; one fourth of which came from glass B= 81.25 ml lemonade from glass B. As glass B contails same amount( 50%) cola. Volume of cola=81.25 ml ??
Thank you so much for the informative video, you've truly been of great help. However, I have a doubt in the last problem. At 13:35, you have mentioned that out of 500 ml mixture, 1/4 is from glass B. But that 1/4 is just from 65% of the mixture, not the whole 500 ml mixture. In other words, Glass B has contributed 1/4 of the 65% of the mixture, not the 500 ml mixture, isn't it?
The 65% is different, about the lemonade percentage of each. We only use that to work out the ratio of A and B. The 1/4 we get is now of the total, not just of the lemonade.
Upon attempting the first example using algebra; 0.3P + 0.15S = 0.26 and second equation of p+s = 1... solving the simultaneous equation gives a totally different solution as the ratio... Some clarity would be appreciated... @thetestedtutor
Your videos are more informational than a Magoosh subscription could ever be!

The BEST trick out there. How do you identify weighted averages vs mixtures vs other ratio problems?
That’s awesome! Thank you! Please keep making more of such videos. 🙏🏻
Will do!
I couldn’t agree more! Thank you so much for these videos!
Amazing trick! I tried to solve your questions in both methods: yours and algebra. Yours was much faster! Thanks a lot, again!
We love the trick and we love you for such a clear and concise information. GBU !
This is just.. mind blowing!! Thank you so much !!!
You help me too much in saving time for the GRE, thanks a lot!

Of course! :)
Super helpful video! Just a question though, what would be an indicator in a question that would lead one to the conclusion that it focused on weighted averages
Thanks Philip. This trick is superb and timely. God bless you real good.
One of the simplest and quickest approaches ever for weighted average problems. Thanks sir
Glad to help
Hey Phillip,
In last question, why 70% is taken on the left hand side instead of right hand side? By convention we should take smaller number on left hand side right? Clarify my doubt please.
Thank you very much for the world's best teacher
Wow, you are so kind Hansi. Thank you for the amazing comments.
Your Work is amazing! I love your videos
If I don't know any topic I would see your video make the topic clear.
Thank you so much 😀 Kick
Thank you so so much for uploading this video. Your channel is absolutely brilliant!
So nice of you riya :)

Hi Philip! Great video! I wonder if you can made another video explaining the basic kind of charts that appeared in the GRE and how to read them. I tried several methods to learned how to read them but I find it difficult .
Great idea tere. I will add that to my priority list.
Thank you so much ♥️ Now this trick is one my favourite.. This trick is very useful
amazing! thanks ^^
This is simply earth shattering!
hey phillip , i have a doubt on the last question,
you said 1/4 of the mixture of glass B is in the resulting glass , but isn't it the calculation just for lemonade , so it is 1/4 of 65% of the resultant glass not 1/4 of the entire resultant glass. hence you cannot calculate 1/2 of 1/4 is the cola in the resultant glass.
am I right?
No the 1/4 is for all of Glass B, not just its lemonade. This trick always gets you the overall proportion instantly...
Philip you are an amazing teacher👌👌👌👌
It's a super time-saving trick !!!
Thanks a lot.
why is your skin so nice!?
A lucky angle I think 😃
Thanks so much! Forever Grateful!
