Your answer is correct!
Step-by-Step Solution
Strategy: Break Down Percentage
Step 1: Break down the percentage
Break down 35% into easier percentages to calculate:
35% = 30% + 5%
This makes the calculation simpler as 10% and 5% are easier to compute mentally.
Step 2: Calculate each part separately
First, calculate 30% of 480:
10% of 480 = 48
30% of 480 = 3 × 48 = 144
Next, calculate 5% of 480:
5% is half of 10%, so 5% of 480 = 48 ÷ 2 = 24
Step 3: Add the partial results
Now add the two results together:
144 (from 30%) + 24 (from 5%) = 168
Therefore, 35% of 480 is 168.
Estimation Strategy
Quick Approximation Method
35% is close to 33.33% (which is one third):
480 ÷ 3 ≈ 160
Since 35% is slightly more than 33.33%, we know the answer should be slightly more than 160.
Looking at the options, 168 is the closest to our estimation.
Verification
To verify, we can calculate 35% directly:
35% of 480 = 0.35 × 480
= (0.3 × 480) + (0.05 × 480)
= 144 + 24 = 168
This confirms our answer is correct.
