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

Step-by-step 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
