2. You are at the store and have items in your cart that cost $1.99, $3.95, $4.08 and $6.10. You have a $20 bill. Show how you can quickly determine if you have enough money without using a calculator.

Hey!

You can round each amount to the nearest whole number

$1.99 = $2
$3.95 = $4
$4.08 = $4
6.10 = $6

6 + 4 + 4 + 2 = $16

$20 - $16 = $4

You'll have $4 extra

Hope this helps! :)
