What is 8% of $600,000?

Question

I suck at math. What is 8% of $600K?

Answer 1

$48,000.00  

Answer 2

You're also lazy.

What computer/blackberry out there has internet access but no calculator?

Answer 3

Let's just think about this for a minute.  10% of 600,000 is 60,000 - you just moved the decimal point over to the left one digit.  That's clear, isn't it?  So, 8% is less than 10% so 8% is going to be just under 60,000.  What's 1% of 600,000?  Move the decimal two digits,

you get 6,000.  Two of those is 12,000 so 8% is 60,000 - 12,000

Take 10,000 from 60,000 you get 50,000 and take 2,000 from that for 48,000.

Math is all about keeping the relationships clear.  Read through this a couple of times and you won't "suck at math" any longer. You can do it!  Anyone can!  

Good luck.
