Question

For one of the evening performances 81st student tickets and 60 adult tickets were sold student tickets cost $6.25 and adult ticket cost $9.25 estimate the amount made from tickets or is your estimate an overestimate or underestimate. HELP PLZ!!!!

Answer 1

1020.....................

Answer 2

Estimate: 1,020

This is an underestimate

Explanation:

To estimate we should round:

81- 80

60- stays 60

6.25- 6

9.25- 9

6x8 = 48 so mentally, 6x80 = 480

9x6 = 54 so mentally, 9x60 = 540

Now add: 480 + 540 = 1020

This would be an underestimate since we rounded everything down

If you would like me to add anything or clarify I would be happy to do that :)
