i would say they way to get the ballpark estimate is by taking the number. and see what is the estimate for that number and then you take that estimated number and then add to get your answer .
A percent is a ratio of a number to 100.
Two choices: -- Multiply (the number) x (the percent using the percent % key). -- Multiply (the number) x (the percent), then divide the answer by 100. Either way, the claculator displays that many percent of that number.
To find 12.5 percent of a number, multiply the number by 0.125.
When you wish to compare is to another number.
To find 78 percent of a number, multiply that number by 0.78. In this instance, 0.78 x 2890 = 2254.2.
Estimate: 70 percent of 50 (I lowered the percent, so I rounded the number up. My way of estimating) which is 35. Actual: 32 3/25
41 percent percent of 40 = 0.164
12.22
52% of 38 = 0.52 * 38 = 19.76 which when estimated to the nearest whole number = 20.
there is no need for an estimate - exact answer is 212.80
Estimate: 40 Actual: 37.92
It is 0.8

Since 50% of 16 is 8 we can estimate that 52 percent of 16 would be slightly higher than 8, or 8.1-8.4.
23 percent of 81 is 18.63.
