Percent Problems in Daily Life

Using Percents Every Day

Calculating percents helps you with shopping sales, taxes, and tips. Knowing how to find a percent of a number or what percent one number is of another is a super useful life skill.

Steps to Solve Percent Problems

  1. Change the percent to a decimal.
  2. Multiply the decimal by the number.
  3. To find what percent one number is of another, divide and multiply by 100.

Being a Smart Shopper

Understanding percents saves money and helps you make good decisions with your budget.

Examples

  • A $40 shirt is 25% off, so the discount is $40 x 0.25 = $10.

  • You leave a 15% tip on a $12 meal, which is $1.80.
