What is Fifteen percent of one thousand three hundred dollars?

Answer 1

$195.

To do this quickly in your head, split the percentage up into 2 components:

10% of 1300 + 5% of 1300

10% of 1300 can be easily found by removing a zero (130)

5% of 1300 is just 10% of 1300 divided by 2: 130/2 = (65)

so 130+65=195.
