Remember, the question asks you to estimate the value.
To estimate... let's round 29.5% to 30%.
10% of 1800 would be 180.
So 30% of 1800 would be 540.
For 29.5% of 1800 my *estimate* is that the answer will be *slightly less than* 540.
(And yes, others have pointed out that the exact value will be 531).

Round 29.5 to 30% and do this
1800 x 30% =540

If you want to estimate this round off to 30% and multiply 3 x 18 getting 54, then add back a zero to get an estimate of about 540. Actual answer will be slightly less.

x= the number
x= 29.5% of 1800.
x= (.295)1800
x= 531
