Estamating with percents is easy im going to explain it. 10% of 20 is 2. I know this because you take of the 0's on both to be 1% of 2 an easy way to do this is the is over of methed.X/2=1/100. 10% 50 is 5. now hrder problems, 10% of 120 is 12. 15% of 143 is 21.45. that is how you estamate with %'s.

Zach Landgraf When you find 10% of any thing, all you have to do is move the decimal one place to the left. Examples: 10% of 50 is 5, 10% of 30 is 3, 10% of 200 is 20, 10% of 6 is .6, and so on. When you are trying to figure out a problem like 30% of 70. An easy way to do this is to multiply the first two numbers, since they both end in zero, so you would get 21 as your final answer. Say you get a problem like 25% of 200. 25 is a fourth of 100, so you would divide 200 by 4, which equals 8. If you had to figure out what is 25% of 90, you would estimate 25 to 30 because 30 goes into 90 three times. You would add a bit to the answer, so I would estimate that the answer is around 6.
