I always think of it in terms of money. If you have a dollar, 15 cents is 15%.

To find 15% the easiest way to do it is to find 10% and then add another 1/2 to it.

For example:

$42.50 10% is $4.25 (just move the decimal) then you add 1/2 of $4.25 or $2.12 to the original $4.25 to get 15%.

If you are finding 20% simply double the 10%. Super easy for finding tips :-)

Multiply it by 0.15, or divide by 100 and multiply by 15.

Or you find 10% of the number, then half the answer :)

I tried the divided by 100 and multiply by 15 and you get a answer that is lower than 50%. You shouldn't pass on information you are not 100% sure about!!!
