Question

A group of 5 people goes to the theater. If each ticket costs $6.50, is $50 a reasonable estimate for the cost of 5 tickets?explain

Answer 1

no. because it would be approximately $32.50 for the cost of 5 tickets

Answer 2

If you round up the cost of each ticket to $7, then 5 * $7 = $35.
$35 is already a high estimate because it was made by rounding the cost of a ticket up.
$50 is too high an estimate.
