Question

You want to buy 5 pencils, each costing 88 cents. How many dollar bills should you take to the store?

Answer 1

You should take 5 dollar bills, that is, $5.00

Explanation:

If this is an estimating problem, bc maybe you've been learning about how to round numbers, do this:

$0.88 rounds to $1

So 5 × $1 is $5

Or, if not, you can just calculate:

5 × 0.88 = 4.40

Before tax 5 pencils cost $4.40, so you better bring $5.

Answer 2

$5

5x88= 440 cents
440 cents is $4.4
