Answer:

64.96

Step-by-step explanation:

The most common benchmark percents are [tex]0\% , 10\% , 25\% , 50\% , 75\%[/tex] and [tex]100\%[/tex]

We are given [tex]58\%[/tex] which is closest to [tex]50\%[/tex].

Now we calculate [tex]50\% \ of \ 112[/tex] which is equal to [tex]56[/tex].

We are left with [tex]8\%[/tex] more to add.

We can say [tex]1\% \ of \ 112 \ is\ 1.12[/tex]

Therefore [tex]8\% \ of \ 112 \ would \ be \ 1.12\times8=8.96[/tex]

Now add the two.

[tex]56+8.96= 64.96[/tex]

Thus 64.96 is the answer.
