Question

A video game store sells 218 video games for $54 each. Which is the best estimate of the total sales for the video games?

A $10,000
B $10,500
C $12,000
D $12,500

Answer 1

C $12,000

Explanation:

$54 × 218 = 11,772

11,772 - 10,500 = 1772

12,000 - 11,772 = 228

Therefore,

12 000 is the nearest number for total sales
