Answer 1

new answer with estimate= 10 old answer=
`9.24`

Explanation:

Use this method percent proportion

`(Percent)/(100) = (Part)/(Whole)` or
`(Percent)/(100) = (is)/(of)`

Answer:

12% of 77

`(12)/(100) = (x)/(77) = (100x)/(100) = (924)/(100) x = 9.24`

Steps:

1. Make a proportion with the method percent proportion.
2. After setting up numbers in proportion cross-multiply.

3. Make 100x because we don't know the value of x.

4. After multiplying 12 x 77 you should've gotten 924.

5. After cross-multiplying divide your new proportion.

6.
`x= 9.24` estimate = 10

now I'm not sure if those number in your question is your new estimate answer but since 9.24 is close to 10 your answer will be 10

Have a great day hoped it helped :)
