Question

A family of six goes to the local sandwich shop. all six people order the combination meal, which includes a drink and a sandwich for 6.99. one person thinks the total bill for the family of six will be around 30.00.

is this a reasonable estimate?

Answer 1

No it wouldn’t be

Explanation:

Well lets say the cost of 6.99 is rounded up to 7 since its a penny short.

There are 6 people and 6*7=42

So the answer would be about 42 dollars which is 12 dollars off.

Even if we round down the 6.99 to 6 it would still be 6 dollars off and thats still a low estimate
