2 “Estimating with Percents” You can use fractions or decimals to estimate with percents. You can use fractions or decimals to estimate with percents.

3 Estimating Percents with Fractions Percent10%20%25% 33 % 50% 50% 66 % Fraction You can estimate the percent of a number by substituting a fraction that is close to a given percent. A basketball costs $14.99 at Modell’s. Sports Authority is offering the same basketball at 20% off the regular price of $19.99. Estimate to determine which store is offering the better deal? A basketball costs $14.99 at Modell’s. Sports Authority is offering the same basketball at 20% off the regular price of $19.99. Estimate to determine which store is offering the better deal? Find 20% of $19.99 Compatible numbers – numbers that are close and help you use mental math to find the solution

4 Use a fraction and compatible numbers to estimate the percent of each number. means multiplication 25% 1 4 Find 25% of 35. 34% 1 3 Find 34% of 63. Finding Percent of a Number 8% 110 Find 8% of 261.

5 Estimating Percents with Decimals Another way to estimate percents is to find 1% or 10% of a number. You can do this by moving the decimal point in the number. 1% Find of any number by moving the decimal point 2 places to the left. 10% Find of any number by moving the decimal point 1 place to the left. Find 1% of 45 45 = 0.45.0 Find 10% of 45 45 = 4.5.0

6 Use 1% or 10% to estimate the percent of each number. Find 4% of 18 18 is about 20, so find 4% of 20. 1% of 20 = 20. 4% of 20 = 4 · 0.2 = 0.8 4% of 18 is about 0.8. 4% equals 4 · 1%.. Find 29% of 80 29% is about 30, so find 30% of 80. 10% of 80 = 80. 30% of 80 = 3 · 8.0 = 24.0 29% of 80 is about 24. 30% equals 3 · 10%..

7 Real-Life Application Tim spent $58 on dinner for his family. About how much money should he leave for a 15% tip? Since $58 is about $60, find 15% of $60. 15% = 10% + 5% 10% of $60 = $6 5% of $60 = $6 ÷ 2 = $3 $6 + $3 = $9 Tim should leave about $9 for a 15% tip. Think: 15% is 10% + 5%. 5% is of 10% so divide $6 by 2. 1212 Add the 10% and 5% estimates.

8 Real-Life Application Amanda spent $12 on a hair cut. About how much money should she leave for a 15% tip? Since $12 is about $10, find 15% of $10. 15% = 10% + 5% 10% of $10 = $1 5% of $10 = $1 ÷ 2 = $0.50 $1 + $0.50 = $1.50 Amanda should leave about $1.50 for a 15% tip. Think: 15% is 10% + 5%. 5% is of 10% so divide $1 by 2. 1212 Add the 10% and 5% estimates.
