Question

Kurt also buys a box of 12 markers for $5.52. He estimates the cost of each marker to be about $0.50. He then calculates the actual cost of each marker to be $0.46. Explain whether his calculation is reasonable.

Answer 1

I would say the person above me is right

Answer 2

His calculation is reasonable

Step-by-step explanation:

12 markers = $5.52 ----------- ( 1 )

estimated cost of each marker = $0.50

calculated ( actual cost ) = $ 0.46

to determine whether his calculation is reasonable

from equation 1 we will calculate the actual cost of each marker

hence ; 1 marker = 5.52 / 12 = $0.46

therefore his estimated cost of each marker which he estimated as $0.50 is reasonable
