how to calculate the CAGR in a PST without going into the formula and doing a general estimate? Actually not only pst but cases in general
can this only be done by rule of 72?
thanks

Is there a trick to quickly estimate the average annual growth percentage / to or total compounded growth, without a calculator? i.e. X will grow with 5% for the coming 10 years.

Nobody has responded to this question yet.
You should be careful with rule of 72. With big growth rates it is not working. If growth rate is more than 15% results can be drastically different.
In PST sample "A" there is a question with CAGR (which, I suppose, is a reson of your question) but a specific way how you can fastly and correctly calculate an answer there is open question for me also.
