Problem of the Day
You are biking to the library. When you
are 75% of the way there, you realize
you forgot a book. So you turn around
1
and head back. When you are of the
3
way back you realize you don’t need the
book, so you turn around again and bike
3.2 miles back to the library. How far do
you live from the library?
6.4 miles

6-2 Estimate with Percents
The table shows common percents and their
fraction equivalents. You can use fractions to
estimate the percent of a number by choosing a
fraction that is close to a given percent.

Additional Example 1: Using Fractions to Estimate
Percents
Use a fraction to estimate 27% of 63.
Think: 27% is about 25% and
1
25% is equivalent to .

 1 · 60 Change 63 to a compatible
4
number.
 15
Multiply.
27% of 63 is about 15.
Remember!
Compatible numbers are close to the numbers in
the problem and are used to do math mentally.
27% of 63  1 · 63

Try This: Example 1
Use a fraction to estimate 48% of 91.
48% of 91  1 · 91
2
Think: 48% is about 50% and
1
50% is equivalent to .
2
 1 · 90
2
Change 91 to a compatible
number.
 45
Multiply.
48% of 91 is about 45.

Additional Example 2: Consumer Math Application
Cary earns $9.88 per hour. He gets a bonus of
50% for each hour he works overtime. About
how much is he paid per hour for overtime?
First find the bonus for each hour of overtime.
50% of $9.88 = 1 · $9.88 Think: 50% is equivalent to 1 .

1 · $10 Change $9.88 to a

compatible number.
2
 $5
Multiply.
The bonus is approximately $5. Since $10 + $5 = $15,
he earns about $15 for each hour he works overtime.

Try This: Example 2
Billy has a job assembling office furniture. He
is paid $9.20 for each unit completed. If he
completes more than 10 units a week he is
paid an additional 25% per unit. How much is
he paid for each unit above 10.
First find the additional amount earned for each unit above 10.
25% of $9.20 = 1· $9.20 Think: 25% is equivalent to 1 .

Change $9.20 to a compatible
1 · $9

number.
4
 $2.25
Multiply.
The bonus for each extra unit is approximately $2.25. Since
$9 + $2.25 = $11.25, he earns about $11.25 for each extra
unit.

6-2 Estimate with Percents
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% of 45 = .45. 10% of 45 = 45
. .
To find 1% of a
number, move the
decimal point two
places to the left.
Course 2
To find 10% of a
number, move the
decimal point one
place to the left.

Additional Example 3A: Estimating with Simple
Percents
Use 1% or 10% to estimate the percent of
each number.
A. 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% equals 4 · 1%.
4% of 18 is about 0.8.

Additional Example 3B: Estimating with Simple
Percents
Use 1% or 10% to estimate the percent of
each number.
B. 29% of 80
29% is about 30, so find 30% of 80.
10% of 80 = 80.
.
30% of 80 = 3 · 8.0 = 24.0 30% equals 3 · 10%.
29% of 80 is about 24.

Try This: Example 3A
Use 1% or 10% to estimate the percent of
each number.
A. 5% of 14
14 is about 15, so find 5% of 15.
1% of 15 =.15.
5% of 15 = 5 · 0.15 = 0.75 5% equals 5 · 1%.
5% of 14 is about 0.75.
Course 2
6-2 Estimate with Percents
Try This: Example 3B
Use 1% or 10% to estimate the percent of
each number.
B. 21% of 60
21% is about 20, so find 20% of 60.
10% of 60 = 60.
.
20% of 60 = 2 · 6.0 = 12.0 20% equals 2 · 10%.
21% of 60 is about 12.

6-2 Estimate with Percents
Additional Example 4: Consumer Math 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
Think: 15% is 10% + 5%.
1
5% is 2 of 10% so divide
$6 by 2.
Add the 10% and 5%
estimates.
Tim should leave about $9 for a 15% tip.
Course 2
6-2 Estimate with Percents
Try This: Example 4
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
Think: 15% is 10% + 5%.
1
5% is 2 of 10% so divide
$1 by 2.
Add the 10% and 5%
estimates.
Amanda should leave about $1.50 for a 15% tip.
