HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

70

Explanation:

First add the tens: 20 + 30 + 10= 60

Now add the Ones: 7 + 2 + 4= 13

now add them all together: 60+13=73

so the best estimate is 70

Your Welcome

Answer 2

Explanation:

to estimate you should round all the individual numbers to numbers that are easy to work with:

$27 → $30

$32 → $30

$14 → $10

then add the rounded numbers together to find the total

so $30 + $30 + $10 = $70

This means the best estimate is $70
