Question 26 • TX-College Prep Math A

Aaron estimated that 148% of 333 is 495. Is his estimate reasonable?

Answer
A
No, because his calculation should be 140% of 340.
B
No, because his calculation should be 150% of 340.
C
Yes, because his calculation should be 140% of 330.
D
Yes, because his calculation should be 150% of 330.

Explanation

Round 148% to 150% and 333 to 330. Then 150% of 330 is 1.5 × 330 = 495, matching Aaron’s estimate. So his estimate is reasonable: the correct choice is “Yes, because his calculation should be 150% of 330.”
