Explain how mental math can be used to estimate a 15% tip on a taxi ride that costs $23.25.
PLZ HELP! BE VERY Descriptive on how you did this! I'm Sick Today So I've Barely Have Brains To Do This Today, So HELP!!!
10% + 5% = 15%
2.3 + half of that
2.3 + 1.2
= 3.50
ps
the accurate answer is 3.49
I take 10% and 20% of the number. For this ride, that would be about $2.33 and 4.66.
Then I estimate what is about half way between those two numbers. It looks like about $3.50 would be about 15%.
BUT DONT COPY IT WORD FOR WORD!
Still, Don't Get It......
hello! I know some people are having trouble with this question so here4s what I did:
(don't copy word for word)
I did 15% x 23.25 = 3.4875 because
part = percent x whole
In this case, the "part" is the tip, the percent is 15% or 0.15, and the whole is 23.25.
if you're talking about money like in this example you could(probably) round 3.4875 to $3.48
also some help with other problems:
percent = part(is) ÷ whole(of) x 100
part(is) = percent x whole
whole(of) = part ÷ percent
the is whole and of are just to help you figure out which number is which thing in the equation!
K, Got THAT, But, How Does Mental Math Solve It?
I NEED HELP AND FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been stuck on this problem for almost an hour i really need help so plz helppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
ESKKETTE is whole website is practically a cheat sheet
well Ms Sue used the fact that 15% is halfway between 10% and 20%
I used a tenth plus half of a tenth.
same difference :)
@Mrs. Sue has already answered the question adequately, as has @Damon. If you need further help, consider using a bit of pen and paper, maybe a calculator, your math book... this is going to get so many dislikes. Or it's going to get no likes OR dislikes because people want to dislike it, but see that I predicted this, somehow feel foolish in disliking it, and scroll past it. Now you're looking at this with a kind of confused yet astonished expression wondering how somebody can possibly waste their life to this extent. Now you're thinking about closing the website due to the fact that this is scarily accurate.
And now you're closing the website, unless, of course, there are answers to your questions right below this. Either that or a comment with terrible grammar or someone who used impeccable grammar for the sole purpose to spite my predictions. Also,
Steve is a crewmate.
no
ME 2222
I'm so tired and confused does no one have an answer
nobody is seeing this so ill take the chance to say that my whole life is going downhill, i have so many other things in my life thats weighing down on me meanwhile homework keeps piling up with due homework sitting there as i type this.
If theres any chance anyone is reading this and going thru the same sh1x, you'll be fine. because one day you'll get over all of this, you'll just walk past it and move on with your life. i may have sounded like im losing hope but not really, i think of the faces of the people i love. wether its a pet, person, online friend, doesn't matter. and if you dont love anyone? thats completely fine, instead, learn how to love yourself before loving others, you are your own bestfriend, only you know yourself the best. keep pushing
for the ones who took time out of their day just to read this, goodluck as we wont see eachother again. remember me when things get better lol
i hope this message will come across the right person.
What is the fricking answer. Pls helpppp ive been on this 4ever
Oh wow... this comment section is.... inexplicably cringe. Yikes. I know we're all kids, but jeez.
great.
thnx
so I need to put what mrs sue said?
can someone just answer the question omg
Mrs sue you are the mother of correct answers.
(Basically mrs.sue is right
3.49, 3.48, 3.50
It's one of these- Dont Judge me i have 1 brain cell remaining.
that crewmate guy is trying too hard to be edgy lol
damn this just got deep lmao
To "Chiyo chips", stop being an immature moronic kid. Some people really need to let it out and maybe it makes them feel better to do it here. If you are unironically commenting that then clearly you have not felt depression or those kinds of emotions. Let the person have their peace and share how they feel.
cringe CRINGE CRINGE REDDIT CRINGE GGRRRR
stop
sorry my last response was to email a friend sorry
Thanks @Ms.Sue and @Damon

Yo why you hate kids
Why yes.
Well first the problem is I don't know how to solve this in mental math is what it is asking if we were talking about on a paper then I know how to do it I just need help explaining how you do it in mental math
same bro i wanna kill
don't get this at allllllllllll
@pjm @uwu This some deep chia
This some Deep Chiz
fe, dont fricking vent in an answer site
Also, this matters to you too, "??". I get this isn't the correct site to be doing this but you really are being a terrible cruel kid to this person who just wants to let it out but they can't to people who they know in their life.
Wow, now you hate kids go quit this job then im sure "you dont get paid enough for this"

*******Meh like umm..... what is going on?????***********
where yall getting 10 from....im still confused..
¨hey Siri, how to no-clip out of reality and into the Underground?¨
*Fallen Down slowed version starts playing*
Basically first we are going to have 10% and 5 % from 15, and we multiply 10 and multiply it with 23.25 and what ever it equals that's 10% of 23.25
Next multiply the 5% with 23.25 and your answer
Finally when you got what you need add it up and now that's your answer
its kinda rude by acting like someone who is dead.
BUT i understand that u prob still have that childish mindset.
thats wrong
um... that is not a website
AYOOOOO
@pjm same :(
are we all just going to ignore the cringe that @Asuna Yuki (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ

I mean no disrespect * yes i do*.
i <3 horses. I've jumped 2'3 and walk trot cantered. I've also galloped a lot on accident O-O
Find 1%, 5%, and 10%.
1. Finding 1% means we just move the place value down by 2.
23.25 -> 0.2325
2. Finding 5% means we multiply 0.2325 by 5. But we're estimating the tip, so it doesn't have to be exact. Round 0.2325 to the nearest tenth, then multiply by 5.
0.2325 ~ 0.2
0.2 * 5 = 1
3. To estimate 10% of 23.25, we will multiply 5% by 2. So, 1 * 2.
1 * 2 = 2
2 ~ 10% of 23.25
4. We will add 10% and 5% to get 15%.
10% + 5% = 15%
2 + 1 = 3
nobody cares about you explaining your whole life story on a site for questions
Sorry for that l am just super confused so my brain is still like MMMHHHHH........ ANIME......... know bout it and meh know bout the cute ness in life is this> ✨✨(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ✨✨

mental math can be used because all you have to do is add 2.3 to half which is 1.2 so basically it is simple adding.
