I have some questions about this problem 24.95 times 8 equals 199.60?

Would I be able to figure this out by myself on paper, how? And the tax how did I get .60

    Here's an easy way to do it:

    (25 - 0.05) * 8 = 200 - 0.40 = 199.60

    Yes, you can multiply 2495 x 1996

    Also, guess what the answer might be. It is probably close to 25 x 8

    After multiplying 2495 x 1996, put the decimal point where it makes the product closest to your estimate.

    Change "___" by x now you can have 24x= - eight to seek out x, divide both aspect with the aid of 24. (24x/24)= -eight/24 x=zero.33 but that you can put it like that for an reply. You'll have to factorize - eight/24 = -four/12= -1 / 3
