Always look for your 10%, 5%, and 1%. Here's a quick shortcut to finding them all.

  • 10% of any number is found by moving the decimal point one place to the left. (i.e. 10% of 17 is 1.7)
  • 5% of any number is found by dividing 10% in half. (i.e. 1.7 ÷ 2 = 0.85)
  • 1% of any number is found by moving the decimal point two places to the left. (i.e. 1% of 17 is .17)

So knowing this we simply make an addition problem.

1.7 (10%) + 1.7 (10%) + 1.7 (10%) + 1.7 (10%) + 0.85 (5%) = 7.65

Therefore, 45% of 17 is 7.65.
