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.
