Question

5. Melissa bought a pencil for $0.34, an eraser

for $0.22, and a notebook for $0.98. What
is a reasonable estimate for the amount
Melissa spent?

Answer 1

Answer: $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:If you round $0.98 equals $1.00 $0.34 round to $0.30 and $0.22 rounds to $0.20 then you add $1.00 $0.30 $0.20 which equals to $1.50 Answer is $1.50

Answer 2

Answer: 1.55 (1.54 is the real price she bought it at so this is a reasonable estimation)

Step-by-step explanation: You can estimate the 98 cents at 1 dollar and the 22 cents at 20 cents and the 34 cents at 35 cents then add them all together: 0.20+0.35+1=1.55
