Question

Shane spent $15 on a shirt, 21.99 on a pair of pants, and 0.85 on a hat. Which is the best estimate for the amount of money in dollars Shane spent?

A) $23

B) $38

C) $70

D) $60

Answer 1

B) $38

Explanation:

Since the question asks for the amount of money in dollars that Shane has spent, we can add up all of her spendings to create this equation:

`15+21.99+0.85\\=37.84`

We are asked for the "best estimate", and according to our choices, $38 is closest to $37.84.
