108. Because 188-80=108

Hope it helps!!!


Edit: Sorry about that mistake I meant 188-80=108

Answer:

The reasonable estimate is 100.

Explanation:

The given equation is 188 = m+80.

The nearest hundred to 188 is 200.

The nearest hundred to the digit 80 is 100.

Estimating the digits in the equation we have :

200=m+100

Or m=200-100=100.

The reasonable estimate for m in the equation 188=m+80 is 100.
