Mental Math Shortcuts

• 20% (easiest): Move decimal one place left → double. $67.00 → $6.70 → $13.40
• 15%: Calculate 10% (move decimal) + half of that. $67.00 → $6.70 + $3.35 = $10.05
• 18%: Calculate 20% and subtract a bit. $67.00 → $13.40 − $1.34 = $12.06
• 25%: Calculate 20% + 5% (half of 10%). $67.00 → $13.40 + $3.35 = $16.75
• Round up shortcut: On a $47 bill, 20% = $9.40. Round to $10 for a clean total of $57.
