Yes, there is an easy method that requires mainly mental math. It's called the 1, 10, 5 percent method.

  • You can find 1% of any number by simply moving the decimal point, two places to the left. (I.e. 1% of 1574 is 15.74).
  • You can find 10% of any number by simply moving the decimal point, one place to the left. (I.e. 10% of 8716 is 871.6)
  • You can find 5% of any number by simply multiplying 1% by 5 or dividing 10% by 2.
