What is the easy way to divide shortcut? I can come to the second step but after that, help me please.

Divide and round off to the nearest 5 or 0 digit to solve fast.
2260 / 18300 = 226/1830,
Round off 225 / 1830 = 45 / 366,
Again round off 45/3660 = 9/73,
Again roundoff 9/70 * 100 = 12.1 answer ie close to 12.1, i.e. 12.35.

2260=2000.
18300=18000,
2000/18000*100,
It gives me 11.11.
Am I correct? Please clarify me.

First, how to calculate the average and percentages of this given data?
Ror 13 said:

Easiest Way;
First sum both = 18300 and 2260 ---> 1830 & 226.
10 % = 183.
1% = 18.3.
Require + 10 % = 226 - 183 = 43;
1% = 18.3 == 20.
2% = 40 approx.
so 12% > approx.
But not 13 % as 1 % == 20,
and .5 % == 10.
