Jenny had a wardrobe full of 35 different shirts. In order to make more space in her closet, she got rid of 9 of them. What is a reasonable
estimate for the percentage of shirts Jenny got rid of?

Respuesta :

There is no one set answer because there are many ways to estimate here.

35 rounds to 40

9 rounds to 10

She got rid of 10 shirts out of 40, so 10/40 = 1/4 = 0.25 = 25% is the estimated percentage of shirts she got rid of. This is one possible estimate.

Using a calculator, the actual percentage is 9/35 = 0.2571 = 25.71% approximately. So our estimate isn't too bad. Our estimate is an underestimate.
