6 is the answer because in a multiplication problem, an equation can go in both directions. So to reverse it to make it easy, switch the problem to a division problem and make it 24/25%. From there, just divide 24 by four (because 25% is tecnically 4) and you would get six.
The answer would be 6. Why? It's because of the 24%. You have to change the 24 into 0.24. If you left it alone, the process would be confusing. Changing it into a decimal is much easier. After you changed the percent into a decimal, multiply the 25. You should get 6 as an answer.
To <em>estimate</em> the value, you can work with friendly numbers: numbers closed to the given numbers and with which you can perform easy mental calculations.
For example 4.55 may be rouned to 5, 4.85 may be rounded to 5, and 3.25 may be rounded to 3. That yields 5 + 5 + 3 = 13
Then, it seems you have about 13 liters. Is the final number equal or greater than 12 for sure?
To round 4.55 to 5 you increased the amount in 0.45, to round 4.85 to 5 you increased the amount by 0.15, and to round 3.25 to 3 you decreased the amount in 0.25.
What was the net change in your values: 0.45 + 0.15 - 0.25 = 0.60 - 0.25 = 0.35. Those are easy calculations that you can perform in your mind.
That means that you increased your total in less than 1 liter. Meaning that the final total is overestimated by 0.35, and that if you used the real amounts to make the calculations, the total will be still more than 12.
the price on the larger avocado maybe a little more but at the same time it's better because of the fact yes you're paying a little more but you get a little more than you would with the smaller avocados
