Question

The bills for the month of July have come in. The electric bill is $276.93, the water bill is $69.24, the cell phone bill is $102.56, and the cable bill is $73.69. Rounding each bill to the nearest dollar, estimate what the total household bills are for the month of July.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Round each number individually,

276.93 Rounded up -> 277

69.24 Rounded Down -> 69

102.56 Rounded up -> 103

73.69 Rounded up -> 74

Total = 523

Anything 0.50 to 0.99 gets rounded up

Anything 0.01 to 0.49 gets rounded down

When to the nearest dollar
