A handy tool for estimating percentages is to remember that 10% of something is the same as moving the decimal place one place to the left. So 10% of 175,000 = 17,500. To get 1% move it another place. You can make any % with multiples of 1%.

what????????????????????????????????????

Your answer is very close, but off by a decimal place. Give it another try, a little bit more slowly and I bet you will get it.

175000 multiplied by 0.06 will get you the answer
