Question

Amanda bought a pair of earrings for $10.15 and a purse for $25.25. What is the best estimate of much he spent?

Answer 1

It would be about $35.00.

Explanation:

10.15 + 25.25 = 35.40.

And then, you'd need to estimate it from checking the tens place in the cents, 40 cents.

40 cents is right on the line from estimating the number to the tens, but it isn't enough.

So, it all rounds back to $35.00 in the end.

Hope that helps! ^^
