Art of Problem Solving: Percent Introduction

Converting percents to decimals, and the other way around, can be tricky. Sal shows young mathematicians how to simplify this process with two sample equations and one word problem.

Three word problems involving measurements, percentages, and expenditures are the focus of this video. Sal shows how to translate word problems into solvable equations.

Concepts from the last few videos, particularly exponential growth and decay functions, are covered in this video about word problems. Viewers can apply their new (or growing) algebraic knowledge to solve the word problems along with Sal.
