Question

Estimate the total cost of the following items for your dorm room. Round the individual cost to the nearest ten dollars. Round your answer to the nearest dollar (no cents).

Answer 1

First, we need to round each individual item to the nearest ten dollars.

Loft bed $149.68 = $150.00

Beanbag chair $39.73 = $40.00

Storage cubes $19.85 = $20.00

Lava lamp $19.68 = $20.00

Now, we need to add up all the items to find the total cost.

Total cost = $150.00 + $40.00 + $20.00 + $20.00

Total cost = $230

Hence, the estimated total cost for the dorm room items is $230.
