How do you use percent in real life?
There are all sorts of ways you use it in real life. One basic example is in prices of products. If something is $.98 is means 98 cents, or 98/100ths of a dollar. Also, you use percents when items are on sale. If an item is half off, that's 50%.
You wish to mentally estimate the total cost of items that have the following prices 1.85 98 3.49 9.78 and 6.18 Rounding off the items to the nearest half-dollar your estimate of the total cost is?
To mentally estimate the total cost of these items, we would substitute the following numbers 2, 1, 3.5, 10, and 6. By rounding to the half-dollar, the estimate would be 22.5. This assumes that the 98 is a 98-cent item. If it were a 98-dollar item, the estimate would be 119.5.
