Question

Bernice estimated that 69% of 242 is 168. Is her estimate reasonable?

Answer 1

D Yes, because her calculation should be 70% of 240.

Explanation:

D

Answer 2

Her estimate is not reasonable.

Since she estimated 69%, you could do either of these options. You could...
A. Divide 242 (or .5) to show how much half off would be, then compare her estimate with half of 242 (121). OR...
B. Simply divide 242 by 69% (.69) and compaor her estimate to the exact amount (166.98).

I hope this helps!
