Hi,

 

I am a math tuition teacher. Now my students are preparing for their final exams. They are little slow in math problems. Actually i need to check the answers fast. So i tried many online calculators.

 

Finally found an online percentage calculator to calculate problems. But it is confused for me how it works and gives the result. Could someone explain me?

I always use this one

Are you serious? Are you sure it is your students who are slow and not you? If that sounds offensive, I apologise, I am just astounded at what your difficulty is!

 

A quick glance shows two numbers entered, 10 and 200. It hardly needs anything more than inspection to see that is 5% and sure enough 5% is reported in the box labelled "percentage bar". This is then represented graphically by a pie chart. Where does your confusion lie? (And how is typing the numbers into a couple of boxes any faster than doing the same thing on a calculator, or for straightforward percentages, in your head?

Might be a language problem.

Possibly, but I discerned how the calculator worked without reading any of the words. (And trust me, if I was any worse at maths than I am, I wouldn't know how many of me there are.)
