Q. Which is the most accurate way to estimate 34%34\% of 4141?\newlineChoices:\newline(A) 13×42\frac{1}{3} \times 42\newline(B) 14×40\frac{1}{4} \times 40\newline(C) 23×42\frac{2}{3} \times 42\newline(D) 34×40\frac{3}{4} \times 40
  1. Convert to decimal: Convert 34%34\% to a decimal for easier calculation.\newlineCalculation: 34%=0.3434\% = 0.34
  2. Calculate 34%34\% of 4141: Calculate 34%34\% of 4141 to find the exact value.\newlineCalculation: 0.34×41=13.940.34 \times 41 = 13.94
  3. Evaluate choices: Evaluate each choice to find the closest estimate to 13.9413.94.
    (A) 13×42=14\frac{1}{3} \times 42 = 14
    (B) 14×40=10\frac{1}{4} \times 40 = 10
    (C) 23×42=28\frac{2}{3} \times 42 = 28
    (D) 34×40=30\frac{3}{4} \times 40 = 30
  4. Compare results: Compare the results from Step 33 with the exact value calculated in Step 22.\newlineClosest value to 13.9413.94 is 1414 from choice (A).
