Answer 1

Given:

Number of fish sold in 2005 : 3,320,000,000

Number of fish sold in 2006: 4,220,000,000

The number of fish sold in 2005 and 2006 is the sum of the number of fish sold in 2005 and the number sold in 2006.

Thus:

`\begin{gathered} =3320000000\text{ + 4220000000} \\ =\text{ 7540000000} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the best estimate of the number of fish sold in 2005 and 2006 is 7,540,000,000

Answer:

7,540,000,000 (Option B)
