Question

Bonita had a collection of 804 beads. She gave 283 to a friend.

Which is the closest estimate of the number of beads she has left?
O A 700
O B. 600
O C 500
O D. 400

Answer 1

O C 500

Explanation:

Bonita had a collection of 804 beads. Since she gave away 283, we would subtract 283 from 804.

`804-283=521`

Bonita has 521 beads left.

The question is asking us for the closest estimate to that number.

The best answer would be C because 521 rounds down to 500.

521 ≈ 500

So, the closest estimate on how many beads that Bontia has is 500.
