Q. Which is the most accurate way to estimate 25%25\% of 8181?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 14×83\frac{1}{4} \times 83\newline(B) 14×80\frac{1}{4} \times 80\newline(C) 13×83\frac{1}{3} \times 83\newline(D) 13×80\frac{1}{3} \times 80
  1. Understand Problem: Understand the problem and identify the correct mathematical operation.\newlineTo find 25%25\% of a number, you multiply the number by 0.250.25 or divide it by 44.
  2. Evaluate Choices: Evaluate each choice by performing the calculation.\newline(A) 14×83=20.75\frac{1}{4} \times 83 = 20.75\newline(B) 14×80=20\frac{1}{4} \times 80 = 20\newline(C) 13×83=27.67\frac{1}{3} \times 83 = 27.67\newline(D) 13×80=26.67\frac{1}{3} \times 80 = 26.67
  3. Compare Results: Compare the results with the exact calculation of 25%25\% of 8181.\newline25%25\% of 81=0.25×81=20.2581 = 0.25 \times 81 = 20.25
  4. Determine Closest Choice: Determine which choice is closest to the exact value.\newlineComparing the results:\newline(A) 20.7520.75 is close but slightly higher.\newline(B) 2020 is the closest and almost exact.\newline(C) 27.6727.67 is too high.\newline(D) 26.6726.67 is also too high.
