Question

The Empire State Building in New York City cost $24, 718,000 to build in 1931. Joe said it was about $25,000,000 to build the building and Tara said it was approximately $24, 700,000 to build it. Who was correct and why?

Answer 1

I would go with Tara because 24,718,000 is closer to 24,700,000 than 25,000,000. Tara is correct. Hope this helps. :)
