1. 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 you answer make sense ?
What do you want us to check?
Did you follow my suggestions in the previous post?
I don't understand the sentence
10% of $500 = $50
10% of 300 = $30
6% is a little more than half of 10%,what is half of 10% of 500
5% of 500 = $25
Add this with 10% of 30 = $3
( Since 8% is close to 10%. Does your answer make sense----What that mean? )
25 3 = 28
You did it right and your answers make sense.
so, I just write down this and say the answer is make sense
To find 10% of $500, you can simply divide $500 by 10. In this case, 10% of $500 is $50.
Similarly, to find 10% of $300, you divide $300 by 10. Therefore, 10% of $300 is $30.
Now, to find half of 10% of $500, you divide $50 by 2. Half of $50 is $25.
You are then asked to add this with 10% of $30, since 8% is close to 10%. To find 10% of $30, you divide $30 by 10, which gives you $3.
Finally, you add $25 and $3 together. $25 + $3 = $28.
To verify if this answer makes sense, you can think about the initial problem. We were asked to find half of 10% of $500, which is $25, and add it to 10% of $30, which is $3. Adding them together, we get $28.
So, the answer does make sense as it matches the calculations we performed.
