\n" ); document.write( "You can get a good estimate by multiplying by 75 instead of 76.

\n" ); document.write( "Multiplying by 75 is not too hard, because it is 3/4 of 100. So

\n" ); document.write( "\"12+%2A+75+=+12%2A%28%283%2F4%29%2A100%29+=+%2812%2A%283%2F4%29%29%2A100+=+9+%2A+100+=+900\"

\n" ); document.write( "So 900 is a good estimate for 12 times 76.
