8-5 Estimating with Percents
Our Learning Goal
Students will be able to determine and
construct fractions, decimals, and
percents by understanding their
relationships, solving for the unknown,
solving increase and decrease, solving
sales tax/total cost contextual
problems and compute simple interest.

Pre-Algebra
8-5 Estimating with Percents
Some problems require only an estimate.
Estimates involving percents and fractions
can be found by using compatible
numbers, numbers that go well together
because they have common factors.

Additional Example 1A: Estimating with Percents
Estimate.
A. 21% of 66
Instead of computing the exact answer of
21%  66, estimate.
21% = 21  20 Use compatible numbers, 20 and
100 100 100.

66  65
Use compatible numbers, 65 and 5.
65 = 13
Use mental math: 65 ÷ 5.
So 21% of 66 is about 13.

29% = 29  30 Use compatible numbers, 30 and
100 100 100.

10 90 = 27
Use compatible numbers, 90 and 10.
Use mental math: 90 ÷ 10.
So 29% of 86 is about 27.

Use Distributive Property.
10% of 120 is 12, so 5% of 120 is 6.
= 42
So 36% of 120 is about 42.

10% of 130 is 13,
so 5% of 130 is 6.5.
So 44% of 130 is about 58.5.
