Question

You go to the grocery store to buy milk and some eggs. Milk costs $3.67 and eggs cost $2.40. You want to make sure you have enough money. Estimate the cost of these two items to the nearest ones place.

Answer 1

$2 for the eggs and $4 for the milk

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the eggs cost $2.40 and after the 2 you can see that there is a 4, " 5 or more we add one more, 4 or less just ignore", so it stays $2. However the milk costs $3.67, and here you can see that after the 3 there is a 4, so since it's more than 5 we change the estimated amount to $4.

I hope you understood, and I hope the answer is right :)

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's start by round 3.67. We look at the key digit which is 6 in this case. Since 6 is greater than 5, 3.67 will round up to 4.

The key digit in 2.40 is 4. 4 is not greater than 5, so we round down to 2.

2+4=6

Therefore, an estimate of these two items to the nearest ones place is $6.
