The most accurate way to estimate 33% of 52 is explained as follows:
To find a percentage, we calculate it as follows:
a% of b [tex]=\frac{a}{100} \times b[/tex]
Now, lets convert 33% into fraction first:
33% [tex]=\frac{33}{100} =0.33[/tex]
Now,
[tex]0.33 \times 52=17.16 \approx 17[/tex]
We have two ways to calculate the same so we will compare the values of them and figure out which gives a value nearer to our actual value:
So, [tex]\frac{1}{3} \times51=17[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1}{3} \times 53=17.66[/tex]
We can see that the first method gives us a value which is far closer to the actual value.
Therefore, [tex]\frac{1}{3} \times 51[/tex] is the most accurate way to estimate 33% of 52.
