Practice makes perfect
We want to estimate 31 % of 94. We will start by rounding each number. c|c 31is closer to30 & 94is closer to90 than to40 & than to100 ⇓ & ⇓ 31 % ≈ 30 % & 94≈ 90 Now we multiply the rounded numbers to get an estimation. First, we write the percent as a fraction.
30 %* 90
30/100 * 90
30÷ 10/100÷ 10 * 90
3/10 * 90
270/10
27
We found that 31 % of 94 is about 27.
