Question

Isaac and his sister plan to surprise their parents by buying them each a pair of shoes. They agree that Isaac will pay 68% of the price since he receives a greater allowance. Use an estimation strategy to determine how much Isaac will pay if the total bill is $97.65. Show the step-by-step process you used to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Explanation:

first you need to see how much his sister is paying and she is paying 32% and that is 31.24 then you need to subtract 97.65 by 31.24 which will equal 66.41 so Isaac will pay $66.41 hope this helps if your going to use it change the wording up a bit

Answer 2

for estimating round both the price of shoes and the percentage to round numbers

97.65 is close to 100, so use 100 for the price of shoes

68% is close to 70 so use 70%

then multiply 100 by 70 %,

100 *70% = 70 dollars

so Isaac would pay around 70 dollars
