6-2 Estimating with Percents
All in Notes
Some problems require only an estimate.
Compatible numbers, numbers that go
well together because they have common
factors.
13
24
13 and 24 are not compatible numbers.
12
24
12 and 24 are compatible numbers because
12 is a common factor of 12 and 24.

When estimating with percents, it helps to know some
benchmarks. Benchmarks are common numbers that
serve as points of reference. Some common
benchmarks for percents are shown in the table.

Use a benchmark close to 21%.
Write 20% as a fraction.
66 ≈ 65
Use compatible numbers.
65 = 13
Use mental math: 65 ÷ 5.
So 21% of 66 is about 13.

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

Write 30% as a fraction.
Use compatible numbers, 90 and 10.
Use mental math: 90 ÷ 10.
So 29% of 86 is about 27.

Set up an equation.
10% of 130 is 13,
so 5% of 130 is 6.5.
So, 44% of 130 is about 58.5.

Additional Example 2: Problem Solving Application
Maria took her mother out to lunch
for her birthday. The check for lunch
was $20.15. If Maria wants to leave
about a 15% tip, about how much
should she pay?

1
Understand the Problem
The answer is the total amount Maria should pay
for their lunch.
List the important information:
• The total cost of lunch was $20.15.
•
Maria wants to leave a 15% tip.

Make a Plan
Use estimation and mental math to find the
tip. Then add the tip to the check amount to
find the total amount Maria should pay.

Solve
First round $20.15 to $20.
15% = 10% + 5%
10% of $20 = $2.00
5% of $20 = 10%  2 = $1.00
15% = 10% + 5%
= $2.00 + $1.00 = $3.00
$20.15 + $3.00 = $23.15
Maria should pay about $23.15.

Solve
First round $24.85 to $25.
15% = 10% + 5%
10% of $25 = $2.50
5% of $25 = 10%  2 = $1.25
15% = 10% + 5%
= $2.50 + $1.25 = $3.75
$24.85 + $3.75 = $28.60
They should pay about $28.60.

Additional Example 3: Printing Application
A printing company has determined that
approximately 6% of the books it prints have
errors. Out of a printing run of 2050 books,
the production manager estimates that 250
books have errors. Estimate to see if the
manager’s number is reasonable. Explain.
6%  2050 ≈ 5%  2000 Use compatible numbers.
≈ 0.05

2000 Write 5% as a decimal.
≈ 100
Multiply.
The manager’s number is not reasonable. Only
about 100 books have errors. 250 is much greater
than 100.

Check It Out! Example 3 Elbow Part
A clothing company has determined that
approximately 9% of the sheets it makes are
irregular. Out of a shipment of 4073, the
company manager estimates that 397 sheets
are irregular. Estimate to see if the manager’s
number is reasonable. Explain.
9%

4073 ≈ 10%

4000 Use compatible numbers.
≈ 0.10

4000 Write 10% as a decimal.
≈ 400
Multiply.
Because 397 is close to 400, the manager’s number
is reasonable.
