Greg buys 21 bags of nails. Each bag has 85 nails in it. Greg rounds both numbers to the nearest ten to find an estimate of the total number of nails. What is the difference between Greg's estimate of the total number of nails and the actual total number of nails?

Answer:

1800

Explanation:

21 rounds to 20

85 rounds to 90

20*90=1800

21*85=1785

1800-1785=15 nail difference
