Explain how mental math can be used to estimate a 15% tip on a taxi ride that costs $23.25.

PLZ HELP! BE VERY Descriptive on how you did this! I'm Sick Today So I've Barely Have Brains To Do This Today, So HELP!!!
Answered by Ms. Sue
I take 10% and 20% of the number. For this ride, that would be about $2.33 and 4.66.

Then I estimate what is about half way between those two numbers. It looks like about $3.50 would be about 15%.



Answered by Damon
10% + 5% = 15%

2.3 + half of that
2.3 + 1.2
= 3.50

ps
the accurate answer is 3.49

Still, Don't Get It......
Answered by Damon
well Ms Sue used the fact that 15% is halfway between 10% and 20%

I used a tenth plus half of a tenth.

same difference :)

Answered by friend me on fortnite( Angry Dan)
mental math can be used because all you have to do is add 2.3 to half which is 1.2 so basically it is simple adding.

Answered by Steve Is a Crewmate
@Mrs. Sue has already answered the question adequately, as has @Damon. If you need further help, consider using a bit of pen and paper, maybe a calculator, your math book... this is going to get so many dislikes. Or it's going to get no likes OR dislikes because people want to dislike it, but see that I predicted this, somehow feel foolish in disliking it, and scroll past it. Now you're looking at this with a kind of confused yet astonished expression wondering how somebody can possibly waste their life to this extent. Now you're thinking about closing the website due to the fact that this is scarily accurate.

And now you're closing the website, unless, of course, there are answers to your questions right below this. Either that or a comment with terrible grammar or someone who used impeccable grammar for the sole purpose to spite my predictions. Also,

Answered by YourWelcome!
hello! I know some people are having trouble with this question so here4s what I did:
(don't copy word for word)

I did 15% x 23.25 = 3.4875 because
part = percent x whole
In this case, the "part" is the tip, the percent is 15% or 0.15, and the whole is 23.25.
if you're talking about money like in this example you could(probably) round 3.4875 to $3.48

also some help with other problems:
percent = part(is) ÷ whole(of) x 100
part(is) = percent x whole
whole(of) = part ÷ percent

the is whole and of are just to help you figure out which number is which thing in the equation!

Answered by x
Find 1%, 5%, and 10%.

1. Finding 1% means we just move the place value down by 2.

23.25 -> 0.2325

2. Finding 5% means we multiply 0.2325 by 5. But we're estimating the tip, so it doesn't have to be exact. Round 0.2325 to the nearest tenth, then multiply by 5.

0.2325 ~ 0.2
0.2 * 5 = 1

3. To estimate 10% of 23.25, we will multiply 5% by 2. So, 1 * 2.

1 * 2 = 2
2 ~ 10% of 23.25

4. We will add 10% and 5% to get 15%.

10% + 5% = 15%
2 + 1 = 3

Answered by pjm
nobody is seeing this so ill take the chance to say that my whole life is going downhill, i have so many other things in my life thats weighing down on me meanwhile homework keeps piling up with due homework sitting there as i type this.
If theres any chance anyone is reading this and going thru the same sh1x, you'll be fine. because one day you'll get over all of this, you'll just walk past it and move on with your life. i may have sounded like im losing hope but not really, i think of the faces of the people i love. wether its a pet, person, online friend, doesn't matter. and if you dont love anyone? thats completely fine, instead, learn how to love yourself before loving others, you are your own bestfriend, only you know yourself the best. keep pushing

for the ones who took time out of their day just to read this, goodluck as we wont see eachother again. remember me when things get better lol
i hope this message will come across the right person.

To "Chiyo chips", stop being an immature moronic kid. Some people really need to let it out and maybe it makes them feel better to do it here. If you are unironically commenting that then clearly you have not felt depression or those kinds of emotions. Let the person have their peace and share how they feel.
Answered by Random
Also, this matters to you too, "??". I get this isn't the correct site to be doing this but you really are being a terrible cruel kid to this person who just wants to let it out but they can't to people who they know in their life.

Answered by %Some Calm Person*
Basically first we are going to have 10% and 5 % from 15, and we multiply 10 and multiply it with 23.25 and what ever it equals that's 10% of 23.25

Next multiply the 5% with 23.25 and your answer

Finally when you got what you need add it up and now that's your answer
