for estimating round both the price of shoes and the percentage to round numbers

97.65 is close to 100, so use 100 for the price of shoes

68% is close to 70 so use 70%

then multiply 100 by 70 %,

100 *70% = 70 dollars

so Isaac would pay around 70 dollars

Answer:

Issac has to pay 68% and 68% as a decimal is .68 So to solve this you would multiply 97.65 x .68 = 66.40 So Isaac will pay $66.40 dollars. If you want to go even further his family would pay 31.25$ of the total cost. Hope this helps you
