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

6-3 Estimating 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.
27% of 63  1 · 63

Remember!
Compatible numbers are close to the numbers in the problem
and help you use mental math to find a solution.

Additional Example 2: Consumer Math Application
Tara’s T’s is offering 2 T-shirts for $18, while
Good-T’s is having a sale in which you buy one
T-shirt for $9.99 and get 30% off a second
T-shirt. Which store offers the better deal?
First find the discount price for 2 t-shirts at Good T’s.
30% of $9.99 = 3 · $9.99 Think: 30% is equivalent to 3.
10
10
Change 3/10 to a
 1 · $9.99
compatible number.
3
Multiply.
 $3.33
The second shirt costs approximately $3.33. Since
$10 + $3 = $13, the 2 T-shirts at Good-T’s is the
better deal.

Check It Out: Example 2
Billy’s Office Supply Store is offering 25% off a
leather notebook, originally priced at $9.75. K’s
Office Supply Store offers the same notebook,
not on sale, for $7.00. Which store offers the
better deal?
25% of $9.75  25% of 10
 1 · 10
4
 2.50
9.75 - 2.50 = 7.50
Price at Billy’s office supply; $7.50
Price at K’s office supply; $7
7.50 > $7 so K’s Office Supply Store offers a better
deal.
6-3 Estimating 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.
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.
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.
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.

Use 1% or 10% to estimate the percent of
each number.
21% of 60
21% is close to 20%
10% of 60 = 6
20% of 60 = 2 · 6 = 12
about 12

Check It Out: Example 3B
Use 1% or 10% to estimate the percent of
each number.
3% of 29
29 is close to 30
1% of 30 = 0.3
3% of 30 = 3 · 0.3 = 0.9
about 0.9
6-3 Estimating 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%
Think: 15% is 10% + 5%.
10% of $60 = $6
1
5% is 2 of 10% so divide
5% of $60 = $6 ÷ 2 = $3
$6 + $3 = $9
$6 by 2.
Add the 10% and 5%
estimates.
Tim should leave about $9 for a 15% tip.
6-3 Estimating with Percents
Check It Out: Example 4
Amanda spent $28.80 on a hair cut. About
how much money should she leave for a 15%
tip?
Since $28.80 ≈ $30, find 15% of 30.
15% = 10% + 5%
10% of 30 = 3.00
5% of 30 = 3.00 ÷ 2 = 1.50
3.00 + 1.50 = $4.50 tip
about $4.50
