Question

Megan’s cousin wants to buy a new sound system for his car. She goes to the electronics store to help him to pick it out. The base system costs $395. Adding a subwoofer is an additional $89. Two extra rear speakers are $75 each. And upgrading to a six-CD disk changer is an additional $225. Round each amount to the nearest hundred dollars to find a reasonable estimate for the total cost of the new sound system.

A. $600
B. $650
C. $700
D. $900

Answer 1

D $900

Explanation:

You just round all of the numbers to their nearest hundred.

EXAMPLE: $395 is closer to $400, than it is to the hundred before it, $300. Therefore you would "round" it up to 400.

Hope this helps!
