Question

The Wilkes family sold both of their cars. They sold one car for $7,700 and the other for $9,050. Estimate the difference in the selling price of the two cars by rounding to the nearest thousand and then subtracting.

Answer 1

the answer would be 2,000 because you take 7,700 and round to 8,000 and then take 9,050 and round to 10,000 so 10-8=2,000

Answer 2

the answer is 1,000 dollars
