It is always easier to count by 1 or by 10. In this case lets count by 10. So, divide 575.00 x 10 we get 57.50 now since we are dealing with 5% cut that total in half and we get 26.75.

Or we can move the decimal point over one space and drop the last zero and end with the same 57.50 divide that in half (because it is 5%) and get 26.75.

It sounds confusing but it is so simple I could puke. The best thing about this system is it is correct and quick. Most of the time no paper or pencil is required. It can all be worked out in your mind.

The correct answer is 26.75
