Question

Carmen saved 592 pennies. Her sister saved 128 pennies. Together, they put 250 pennies in wrappers and took them to the bank. What is the total number of pennies, rounded to the nearest hundred, Carmen and her sister have left?

Answer 1

You need to subtract the total number of pennies they have to the number of pennies they wrapped
Total: 592+128=720
Subtract total to the number of pennies wrapped
720-250=470
You can round 470 up to get 500 pennies that the girls had left
The answer is B
