On the Math test, there will be a few questions that involve percents.

In this video, you will learn how to solve basic percent problems.

For example, find 25% of 100.

First of all, you need to know that, “of”, means times. So we need to type 25% times 100.

The percent sign is located above the left parenthesis button, so we will need to use the 2nd button to activate the additional function of this key.

Let’s get started.

Press 25 and then Press 2nd.

Now we can press the left parenthesis sign to activate the calculation of percentages.

Press times for multiplication.

And now Press 100.

Finally press enter.

And here is our result. 25% of 100 equals 25.
