1 1 21 20 65 = 13 Use mental math: 65 ÷ 5. 5 5 100 100 Estimate. A. 21% of 66 Instead of computing the exact answer of 21% 66, estimate. Use compatible numbers, 20 and 100. 21% = Simplify. 66 65 Use compatible numbers, 65 and 5. So 21% of 66 is about 13.
Estimate. B. 36% of 120 Instead of computing the exact answer of 36% 120, estimate. 36% 35% Round. 30% + 5% Break down the percent into smaller parts. 3 10% + 5% 35% 120 = (3 10% + 5%) 120 Set up an equation.
Additional Example 1B Continued = 3 10% 120 + 5% 120 Use Distributive Property. = 36 + 6 10% of 120 is 12, so 5% of 120 is 6. = 42 So 36% of 120 is about 42.
3 3 29 30 90 = 27 Use mental math: 90 ÷ 10. 10 10 100 100 Try This: Example 1A Estimate. A. 29% of 86 Instead of computing the exact answer of 29% 86, estimate. Use compatible numbers, 30 and 100. 29% = Simplify. 86 90 Use compatible numbers, 90 and 10. So 29% of 86 is about 27.
Try This: Example 1B Estimate. B. 44% of 130 Instead of computing the exact answer of 44% 130, estimate. 44% 45% Round. 40% + 5% Break down the percent into smaller parts. 4 10% + 5% 45% 130 = (4 10% + 5%) 130 Set up an equation.
Try This: Example 1B Continued = 4 10% 130 + 5% 130 Setup an equation. = 42 + 6.5 10% of 130 is 13, so 5% of 130 is 6.5. = 48.5 So 44% of 130 is about 48.5.
The diameter of the Moon is about 2160 miles. If the diameter of the Moon is about 27% of the diameter of Earth, what is the approximate diameter of Earth?
1 Diameter of the Moon 27% Diameter of Earth Understand the Problem Additional Example 2 Continued The answer is the approximate diameter of Earth. List the important information: • The diameter of the Moon is about 2160 miles. • The diameter of the Moon is about 27% of the diameter of the Earth. Let e represent the diameter of the Earth. 2160 27% e
Make a Plan 25 100 25% = = 1 4 2 Think: The numbers 2160 and 27% are difficult to work with. Use compatible numbers: 2160 is close to 2000; 27% is close to 25% Find an equivalent ratio for 25%.
3 Solve Think: 2000 is of what number? 1 4 Additional Example 2 Continued 4 2000 = e 8000 = e The diameter of Earth is approximately 8000 miles.
25% of 8000 mi is , or 2000 mi. This is the approximate diameter of the moon. 8000 4 4 Look Back
