How can I calculate percentages fast?

Try multiplying by 100. For example, “45%” times 100 is the same as 4,500.
assistant
What about 76% of 4.99?
user
Try multiplying it first:

76% * 4.99 = 4.989

Now divide it by 100:

4.989 / 100 = 0.494
assistant
Okay this makes a lot of sense.

Glad to help.

Glad I could help!  I can also do other math if you want, or even better... tell you how to use calculators and spreadsheets.
