Percent Problems and Equations

In this video, Mr. J explains how to solve percent problems using the percent equation, which is 'percent times whole equals part.' The video covers two examples: finding the percent of 60 that is 57, and determining what percent 20 is of 48. Mr. J demonstrates how to set up the equation, isolate the variable, and convert the resulting decimal to a percent. He also highlights key words like 'of' and 'is' to identify parts of the equation. The video concludes with a mention of additional resources for further practice.
