Of course, you know that 10% expressed as a decimal is 0.10. Many calculators will calculate percentages directly. If yours doesn't, you can use the decimal equivalent. If you recognize that multiplying by 1/10 simply shifts the decimal point to the left one place, you can do the arithmetic in your head.
