If they're undiscovered, how are we supposed to know?

The likelihood that there is an undiscovered planet ... as opposed to an undiscovered minor planet ... in the Solar System is approximately nil.

Astronomers estimate that there are as many as 100 billion to 400 billion planets orbiting other stars in our galaxy.

Planets in the universe that we're ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN of? About 40.

Planets that we're ALMOST certain of? About 3000.

The most probably minimum number of planets in the universe? Quadrillions or more.

The Kepler space telescope has reasonable indications at there are planets orbiting about half of all the stars that they have examined, and the nature of the Kepler telescope prevents it from detecting more than a small fraction of the planets that are there. It's likely that there are planets orbiting virtually every star in the galaxy, and there are over a trillion stars just in the Milky Way.

"Quadrillions" is probably an unrealistically _low_ number!

As of early 2013, a bit over a thousand planets are known. However, it is estimated that most, perhaps all, stars have at least one planet.

How many solar systems have exoplanets?

It is too premature to give percentages. Several hundred planets have already been found around other solar systems; but so far, mostly giant planets have been found, most of them larger than Jupiter.It is too premature to give percentages.
