She is doing percentages. I know how to get the answer, but a different way than she is being taught-
here is the question:
Estimate
9% of 60.
This is the type of formula she is supposed to use:
To estimate 20% of 89:
round 89 to 90.
Find 20% of 90.
20%=20/100, or 1/5
1/5 of 90= 90/5= 18
So, 20% of 89 is about 18.

This shouldn't be hard, but I cannot figure it out using that formula- but I can figure it out doing it the way I learned to do percentages. lol
