Question

which is the most accurate way to estimate 92% of 119?
\\(\frac{1}{2} \times 120\\) \\(\frac{9}{10} \times 120\\)
\\(\frac{3}{10} \times 120\\) \\(\frac{2}{5} \times 120\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert percentage to fraction

$92\%=\frac{92}{100}=\frac{23}{25}\approx\frac{9}{10}$ (since $\frac{9}{10} = 0.9$ and $\frac{23}{25}=0.92$)

Step2: Round the number

$119\approx120$

Answer:

$\frac{9}{10}\times120$
