Answer:

Len estimated the sum to be 342

The actual sum is 342.23

Explanation:

The nearest whole number of 16.23 is 16, the nearest whole number of 215.7 is 216, and the nearest whole number of 110.3 is 110

Len's estimate is 342

The actual sum is found by adding 215.7 + 110.3 which is the same as adding 216 + 110 to get 326 and then adding 16.23 which will make the answer 342.23
