Question

Margaret is treating her best friend to a birthday dinner. Before ordering, Margaret wants to have an idea of the final bill. The order includes one appetizer for $6.50, two main courses for $15.75 each, two drinks for $2.25 each, and two desserts for $7.25 each. Round each amount up to the nearest whole dollar to find an overestimate of the total cost.

Answer 1

$31

Explanation:

$6.50 = $6

$15.75 = $16

$2.25 = $2

$7.25 = $7

$6 + $16 + $2 + $7 = $31
