Numbers are often rounded to find approximate percentages. For example if 28 out of 119 ESOL students come from Eastern Europe we could round to the nearest ten, giving us 30 out of 120.
30÷120 x 100 = 25% so we can say that 28 out of 119 students is roughly 25%.
Practice approximating percentages with this quiz.
