In this lesson, you will learn how to solve percent problems using the fraction representation of a percent. A percentage literally means "per 100", so every percent can be expressed as a fraction. This fraction representation can be used to calculate percentages of numbers. Here we multiply by the fraction to obtain the percent of the number, and discuss what the percent means in real life examples.

Bless him always

What i love about your teaching style is that you are constantly repeating and explaining what you are doing. You dont assume we "get it" after a few problems but rather you continue to explain the steps you take to solve equations. Youve earnt a subscriber! Keep up the great lessons

This really explained all the components that are going on, rather than trying to memorize short cuts instructors give. Now that I really understand I can use these if need be. ❤

When you use a larger common factor it gets you right to the answer faster.

These lessons are excellent, Many thanks.
I tutor three children who do homeschooling online.
They also do bookwork and I need to brush up on Grade 7 Maths, so I am finding these lessons a great help.
I will definitely be constantly following you Sir.

Your explanations are simple and straightforward.

Just a reminder to all that 100 is divisible by "2, 4, 5, 10, 25, and 50" only... therefore, it won't work for numbers not divisible by those numbers that I have mentioned...
For example, 27% you will get a Decimal Fraction of 1/3.703 or 2.7/10... example, 97% you will get a Decimal Fraction of 1/1.0309 or 9.7/10... example. 81% = 8.1/10 or 1/1.2345... ex., 36% = 3.6/10 or 1/2.7778... ex., 43% = 4.3/10 or 1/2.3255... ex. 3% = 0.3/10 or 1/33.3333... etc.
Proper Fraction have NO Decimal Fraction Equivalent, like for example 10% = 1/10... ex., 4% = 1/25... ex., 5% = 1/20... ex., 25% = 1/4... ex., 50% = 1/2... ex.,60% = 3/5... ex., 45% = 9/20... ex., 75% = 3/4... ex., 80% = 4/5... ex., 90% = 9/10... ex., 12% = 3/25... ex., 24% = 6/25... ex., 35% = 7/20... etc.
