The poetry club had its first bake sale, and they made $79.35. The club members are planning to have 4 more bake sales. Leslie said, if we make the same amount at each bake sale, we'll earn $3,967.50. Peggy said, no way we'll earn$396.75. Who is right and why. Use estimation to solve.

If you multiply 79.35 by 5 you'll get 396.75

So Peggy is correct they'll only make $396.75!
