Answer:

See below

Explanation:

I hope you wrote down the right equation using a minus sign instead of a plus.

Rounding 96.26 off to just 96 and then rounding 62.74 off to 62, you can subtract the two in your head real quick.

96 - 62 = 34

So using this estimation you can see that the answer of 159 is no where near correct.
