    Finding a 20% tip no calculator

    We have 2 methods to calculate a 20% tip.

    1. Divide by 5
    2. Shift one decimal place left and take the value. Multiply by 2
    Example: 180 tip, find a 20% tip:

    Method 1:
    180/5 = 36

    Method 2:
    Move decimal place left = 18
    Multiply this value by 2: 18 * 2 = 36
