Answer: <em>ok so if 60% is under 25 then we can assume 40% is over 25, and then do 40% of 450,000, which is 180,000 .</em>
<em>so we can say that 180,000 people in the town are over 25 years old</em>
You have to ask yourself how would you read that decimal? It is 162 ten-thousandths because the last digit, which is 2 is in the ten-thousandths place. So the fraction would be 162/10000
Hopefully this helps and makes sense to you if you don’t understand ask another question to me or anyone hehe
You can solve it as 3*500+3*80+3*4. It the same as solving it normally, since you're essentially solving it as above (one place value at a time).
