To Find :-

Which of the following is a good estimation of how many horses and cows he had altogether?

600 horses and cows

Here, We will simply add up the number of animals ( cows and horses ) and then we will round it off to it's nearest 'tens' places.

⇒ Total number of animals = number of horses + number of cows

Substituting the values given, We get,

⇒ Total number of animals = 305 + 454

⇒ Total number of animals = 759

Now, when we round it off to it's nearest 'tens' places, We get,

⇒ Round off 759 = 750

Since, We can see that, 4th option from the list of option given, is 750. Therefore 750 is the answer.
