Grade 5 - Word Problems - Percentage Discount Problem with Bar Modeling

This video demonstrates how to calculate a discounted price using bar modeling. The method involves representing the original price as a whole and dividing it into equal parts based on the percentage discount. In this example, 25% is visualized as one-fourth of the total price, and the model helps to easily determine the amount that remains after the discount.

The approach emphasizes the connection between fractions, percentages, and their practical application in calculating sales discounts. This method aids in both visualization and understanding of how percentages affect the overall price.
