Question

Estimate using a rate per 100 what 19% of 288

Answer 1

288*0.19= 54.72

so 19% of 288 is 54.72%

Answer 2

60.

Explanation:

We are asked to find 19% of 288 by estimate.

First of all, we will round 19% to nearest ten percent that is 20%.

Let us round 288 to nearest hundred.

`288\approx 300`

Now, we will find 20% of 300 as:

`20\%\text{ of }300=300* (20)/(100)`

`20\%\text{ of }300=3* 20`

`20\%\text{ of }300=60`

Therefore, our required amount is 60.
