What is 20% from $1.88?
Looking for an easy way to take a percentage from a dollar amount. Such as when you are shopping.

well bringing a calculator helps

or 0.8 x 1.88 = 1.50

(divide mentally in your head by 10 and times by 8)

easier than figuring out 20% and minusing it from $1.88

move decimal one place and multiply by 2

$0.376

well, since 10% is just 0.188 or 0.19, just double it. you get 0.376 (or 0.38 if you rounded to 0.19)

20% would be 37.6 cents, so 38. So 20% off of 1.88 is $1.50. All you have to do on a calculator is take the amount and multiply by the percentage (if its 20%, then you multiply by .20), then subtract the amount you get from the original price.

Take 10% of $1.88, which is roughly 19 cents.
(1.88 x .10 = .188 or .19)

Double it to get 38 cents.
(19 x 2 = 38)

That is how much you will save: 38 cents (37.6 cents to be exact).

Now subtract that from the original price.
($1.88 - .38 = $1.50)

The price you pay is $1.50.

With a little practice, you'll have it down. Then you can graduate to increments of 5.

1.88 x .2= .376 that would be roughly 38 cents

1.88- (1.88 x 20%)

Works EVERY time, guaranteed!

Or your money back
