Question

The cashier at the merchandise shop estimates that the most popular design of t-shirt will make £300 when rounded to the nearest hundred. Before the event they sell £89.80 worth of the t-shirt design, £30.65 during the concert and £180.50 after the event. Is the cashier’s estimate correct?

Answer 1

Let's calculate the total sales of the most popular design of t-shirts based on the amounts sold before, during, and after the event:

Total sales = Sales before event + Sales during event + Sales after event

Given:
Sales before event = £89.80
Sales during event = £30.65
Sales after event = £180.50

Total sales = £89.80 + £30.65 + £180.50
Total sales = £301.95

The total sales of the most popular design of t-shirts based on the provided sales figures amount to £301.95, which is not exactly the same as the cashier's estimated £300 when rounded to the nearest hundred.

The cashier's estimate was £300 when rounded to the nearest hundred, but the actual total sales were slightly higher at £301.95. Therefore, based on the actual sales figures provided, the cashier's estimate was not entirely correct.

Answer 2

In order to determine if the cashier's estimate is correct, we need to add up the total amount of money made from selling the t-shirts. Prior to the event, £89.80 worth of t-shirts were sold. The cashier's estimate of the most popular t-shirt design making £300 when rounded to the nearest hundred is not correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if the cashier's estimate is correct, we need to add up the total amount of money made from selling the t-shirts. Prior to the event, £89.80 worth of t-shirts were sold. During the concert, £30.65 worth of t-shirts were sold. After the event, £180.50 worth of t-shirts were sold. When we add these amounts together, we get £301.95, which is more than the cashier's estimate of £300 when rounded to the nearest hundred.
