My challenging maths DLO

W.A.L.T work out discounts using fractions and percentages.

Hello welcome back. This week we have been learning about how to work out discounts using fractions and percentages. when I started using percentages it was really confusing. But when I started learning more about percentages I started getting use to using percentages. This is how I figured out how to work my question.1/2 is the same as 50% eg half 100=50. 1/4 is the same as 25% eg half 100=50 half 50=25. My first question was 50% off $22.00 I worked it out by halfing $22.00=11 I now that because  11+11=22. My second question was 25% off $44.00 I worked it out by halfing $44.00=24 half the 24=12 so it must be $12.00. I have a question for you guys when you watched my video did you pick it up very fast or did you have to watch it a couple times?please leave a positive,helpful and thoughtful comment and please don't be scared to comment what I have done wrong.
