Of the 1,550 students attending a high school, 26% of them drive to school.
Estimate the number of students that drive to school.
Answer = (1)
Correct Answer
(1) 400
Explanation
Step 1: Round the Numbers for Easier Calculation
-
Total students:
1550 ≈ 1600 -
Percentage that drive:
26% ≈ 25% (since 25% =\(\frac14\))
Step 2: Compute 25% of 1600
25% × 1600=\(\frac14\) × 1600=400
Final Estimated Answer
400
(Exact calculation: 0.26×1550=403, so 400 is a close estimate.)
