How To Calculate 15 Percent

Answer 4

I stink at math but can do percentages okay. If I don't have a calculator an easy way I do it in my head- take 10% of the number then take that and cut in in half and add them together.

For example:
Take 100
10% of 100 is 10
half of 10 is 5
10 +5= 15
15% of 100 is 15

here is another

take 80
10% of 80 is 8
half of 8 is 4
8+4 =12
15% of 80 is 12

odd numbers are a little harder but doable

take 75
10% of 75 is 7.5
half of 7.5 is 3.75
7.5+3.75=11.25
so 15% of 75 is 11.25

Hope I explained it okay, and hope it helps.
