COINS Paloma saves money by
putting all her spare change in a
large jar. She emptied the jar and
made a table listing the types of
coins she had saved.
1. Seventy-five percent of the
dimes she collected were
minted after the year 2000.
How could you find 75% of 120 mentally?
2. Use mental math to find the number of dimes minted after the
year 2000.
3. If 25% of the dollars she collected were Sacagawea dollars, use
mental math to find the number of Sacagawea dollars she collected.
When you compute with common percents like 75% or 25%, it may be
easier to use the fraction form of the percent. This number line shows
some fraction-percent equivalents.

Since some percents are used more frequently than others, it is helpful
to be familiar with the percent-fraction equivalencies shown below.
Use Fractions to Compute Mentally

You can also use decimals to find percents mentally. Remember that
10% = 0.1 and 1% = 0.01.
Use Decimals to Compute Mentally
Compute mentally.
3 10% of 98 4 1% of 235
10% of 98 = 0.1 · 98 or 9.8 1% of 235 = 0.01 · 235 or 2.35

5 SPORTS The Weston Middle School Cougars won 80% of their
baseball games this year. There were 35 games. How many games
did the Cougars win?
METHOD 1 Use a fraction.
80% of 35 = 4 _ 5 of 35 THINK 1 _
5 of 35 is 7. So, 4 _
5 of 35
is 4 · 7 or 28.80% of 35 is 28.
METHOD 2 Use a decimal.
80% of 35 = 0.8 of 35 THINK 0.1 of 35 is 3.5. So, 0.8 of 35 is 8 · 3.5 or 28.
80% of 35 is 28.
The Cougars won 28 baseball games.
g. TIPPING Alan and his brother ate lunch at the local café. They left a
tip that was 20% of the bill. If the bill was $15.50, how much did
Alan and his brother leave for the tip?
Multiplying by DecimalsMultiplying by DecimalsTo multiply by 0.1, move the decimal point one place to the left. To multiply by 0.01, move the decimal point two places to the left.
