Find 10% of $500 and 10% of $300. Since 6% is a little more than half of 10%, what is half of 10% of 500? Add this with 10% of 30, since 8% is close to 10%.Does your answer make sense.

Follow the directions carefully -- one step at a time.
To find 10% of a number, you can multiply the number by 0.10 or move the decimal point one place to the left.
So, to find 10% of $500:
10% of $500 = 0.10 x $500 = $50
Similarly, to find 10% of $300:
10% of $300 = 0.10 x $300 = $30
Now, half of 10% of $500 would be:
Half of 10% of $500 = (0.10 x $500) / 2
Substituting the value we found earlier for 10% of $500, we get:
Half of 10% of $500 = ($50) / 2 = $25
Next, we add this value to 10% of $30 because 8% is close to 10%:
10% of $30 = 0.10 x $30 = $3
Adding them up:
$25 + $3 = $28
So, the final answer is $28.
The reasoning behind this approach is to break down the question into smaller steps and use relevant percentage calculations to find the desired values. By understanding how to calculate percentages and following these steps, you can arrive at the correct answer.
