Answer:

80 (Estimate, we'll get to the exact result at the end.)

Explanation:


\mathrm{(Round)~If~x < 5,~x=y.0}

→ y is the number, for instance, 60.0 since 63.0 in the ones/tenths place is less than 5 or 0.5


20 * 70 = 1,400

→ imagine the newly rounded 73 as 2 × 7 which is 140, but it's 2 more 0's, so it's 1,400.


\bold{77}\\18|1,400\\18 * 7 = 126\\140 - 126 = 14\\18 * 7 = 126\\140 - 126 = 14

long division was performed. for each time a 0 appeared in 14 when 140 was subtracted by 126(18 • 7), a zero was either borrowed from 1,400 or dropped from 1,400 which became our remainder of 14 both ways around.

77 is close to 75 but not below 5, so it round to 80. therefore, your estimate result is 80.

(The exact result is 81.1)

I hope this helped, let me know if you have concerns.
