b) 800 candy bars
c) 900 candy bars
d) 1000 candy bars

Answer 1

To estimate the total number of candy bars, round each count to the nearest ten and add them together. The estimated total is closest to 1000 candy bars.

Step-by-step explanation:

To estimate the total number of candy bars, we can round each individual count to the nearest ten and then add them together. Briah got 290 candy bars, Jayden got 190 candy bars, Rosie got 320 candy bars, and Dreyanna got 250 candy bars. Adding these rounded counts, we get:

290 + 190 + 320 + 250 = 1050.

Therefore, the estimated total number of candy bars they got all together is 1050. This is closest to option (d) 1000 candy bars.
