    Mary and Henry are meeting up for lunch. The total was $18.50. Since Henry helped Mary out earlier in the week, Mary offers to pay for lunch. Henry offers to pay the  tip . He’s not sure how much tip to leave, but he knows he wants to leave around 15%. How can Henry estimate 15% of $18.50?
    ::Mary和Henry在午餐时间见面。总计是18.50美元。自从Henry在一周早些时候帮助Mary吃午餐以来,Mary主动支付午餐费用。Henry主动支付小费。他不确定要离开的提示有多少,但他知道他想离开大约15 % 。 亨利怎么估计18.50美元中15%是15 % ?

    In this concept, you will learn how to use percents to estimate tips.
    ::在这个概念中,你将学会如何使用百分比来估计小费。

    Estimating Tips
    ::估算提示

    tip  is a  sum  of money given to a person for performing a service. The  amount  of tip depends on the type of service being performed, the quality of the service, and the person giving the tip. Tips are often a  percentage  of the total cost.
    ::数额取决于所提供服务的类型、服务质量和提供数额的人。 数额通常占总费用的百分比。

    Let’s look at an example.
    ::让我们举个例子。

    John ate out for lunch. His total bill came to $12.00. He wants to leave a 15% tip.
    ::约翰在午餐时吃过东西,他的账单总额是12美元,他想留下15%的小费

    John can take the time to calculate 15% of the total bill or he can also use what he knows about percents to estimate the approximate tip. 15% is between 10% and 20%.
    ::John可以花时间计算总帐单的15%,或者他也可以使用他所知道的百分率来估计大约小费。 15%在10%到20%之间。

    First, calculate 10% of $12.00. 10% is also 0.1 or one-tenth. When a number is multiplied by one-tenth, move the  decimal point  one place to the left.
    ::首先,计算12.00美元的10%。10%也是0.1或1十分。当数字乘以1十分时,将小数点一移到左边。

    10 %  of  $ 12.00 = $ 1.20.

    Next, use mental math again to find 20% of $12.00 by multiplying $1.20 by 2.
    ::接下来,再用心理数学 乘以1.20乘以2 来发现12美元的20%

    20 %  of  $ 12.00 = $ 2.40.

    Then, estimate an amount between $1.20 and $2.40 that will be approximately 15%.
    ::然后,估计在1.20至2.40美元之间,大约为15%。

    John can estimate that a tip between $1.75 and $2.00 is about 15% of the total bill.
    ::John可以估计,1.75美元到2.00美元之间的小费大约占总帐单的15%。

    Examples
    ::实例

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were given a problem about Mary and Henry at lunch.
    ::之前午餐时你遇到玛丽和亨利的麻烦

    Henry wants to leave a 15% tip on a $18.50 lunch bill. To find the amount, Henry can estimate by finding close percentages and approximating 15%.
    ::亨利想在18.50美元的午餐账单上留下15%的提示。为了找到这笔金额,亨利可以找到接近的百分比和接近15%的估计数。

    First,  round  up the total to $20.00 to make estimating easier.
    ::首先,将总额增加到20美元,使估算工作更容易进行。

    Next, find 10% of $20.00.
    ::接下来,找到$ $ 200.00的10%。

    10 %  of  $ 20.00 = $ 2.00

    Then, multiply that amount by 2 to find 20% of $20.00
    ::然后,再乘以2 乘以2 发现20%的$20.00

    20 %  of  $ 20.00 = $ 4.00

    Henry estimates that 15% of $18.50 is approximately $3.00.
    ::Henry估计,18.50美元的15%大约是3.00美元。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    Estimate the tip.
    ::估计小费。

    Kelly went to lunch. Her total bill was $29.85. About how much would a 15% tip be?
    ::Kelly去吃午饭了 她的账单总额为29.85美元 15%的小费多少钱?

    First, Kelly can round up the total to $30.00 to make estimating easier.
    ::首先,凯莉可以把总数增加到30.00美元 以便更容易估算

    Next, use mental math to find 10% of $30.00. Move the decimal point one place to the left.
    ::接下来,使用心理数学来找到 $30.00 的10%。 将小数点点移到左边 。

    10 %  of  $ 30.00 = $ 3.00.

    This time, use mental math to find half of $3.00. Half of $3.00 is also 5% of $30.00.
    ::这一次,用心理数学来找出 3美元的一半。3美元的一半也是3美元的一半。

    Half of  $ 3.00 = $ 1.50

    Lastly, add the 5% to the 10% to find 15%.
    ::最后,在10%中加上5%,以找到15%。

    $ 3.00 + $ 1.50 = $ 4.50

    Kelly estimates that a 15% tip will be $4.50.
    ::Kelly估计15%的小费是4.50美元

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Estimate a 15% tip on $25.00.
    ::估计25.00美元上下15%的小费

    First, find 10% of $25.00.
    ::首先,找到25美元中的10%。

    10 %  of  $ 25.00 = $ 2.50

    Next, find half of $2.50 and add it to $2.50
    ::接下来,找到2.50美元的一半,再加到2.50美元

    $ 2.50 + $ 1.25 = $ 3.75

    A 15% tip on $25.00 is $3.75.
    ::$25.00上15%的提示是$3.75.

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Estimate a 15% tip on $18.00.
    ::估计18.00美元有15%的小费

    First, find 10% of $18.00
    ::首先,找到18美元中的10%

    10 %  of  $ 18.00 = $ 1.80

    Next, multiply $1.80 by 2 to find 20%
    ::下一步,乘1.8美元乘以2 以找到20%

    $ 1.80 × 2 = $ 3.60

    Then, estimate an amount between $1.80 and $3.60 that will be approximately 15%.
    ::然后,估计在1.8美元到3.60美元之间,大约为15%。

    A 15% tip on $18.00 is between $2.50 and $3.00.
    ::$18.00上15%的小费 在2.50美元到3.00美元之间

    Example 5
    ::例5

    Estimate a 15% tip on $36.50.
    ::估计36.50美元有15%的小费

    First, round up the total to $40.00 to make estimating easier.
    ::首先,将总额增加到40.00美元,使估算工作更容易进行。

    Next, find 10% of $40.00.
    ::接下来,找到40.00的10%。

    10 %  of  $ 40.00 = $ 4.00.

    This time, find half of $4.00. Add the 10% and 5%.
    ::这一次,找到一半的4.00美元,加上10%和5%。

    Half of  $ 4.00 = $ 2.00

    $ 4.00 + $ 2.00 = $ 6.00

    Since you rounded up the bill to $40, 15% of $36.50 is a little less than $6.00.
    ::既然你把帐单归结为40美元,36.50美元的15%略低于6.00美元。

    A 15% tip on $36.50 is between $5.25 and $6.00.
    ::36.50的15%的小费在5.25美元到6.00美元之间。
