26% o f 125 = 100 26 ∗ 125 = = 4 26 ∗ 5 = = 2 13 ∗ 5 = = 2 65 → 32.5
1% = 0.01 ⇒ 26% = 26 ⋅ 1% = 26 ⋅ 0.01 = 0.26 26% o f 125 = 0.26 ⋅ 125 = 32.5
To estimate 26% of 125, we simplify it to 25% which is 31.25, and then add a little more for the 1%, resulting in an estimated value of about 32.5. This approach makes calculations easier by using round numbers. Using estimation helps to quickly approximate percentages in everyday situations.
