Question

Tomatoes cost $1.98 a pound.

Explain how Dan can estimate
the cost of 4 pounds of
tomatoes without using paper or
pencil. Then give the estimated
cost.

Answer 1

Explanation:

The way i estimate is i first look at the dollars and i mutiply that by 4 ($1x4)

you get 4 then we look at the cent which is $0.98 i would add in about 4 times and i would get to about $3 maybe. (This is mental math)

After that add 4 and 3 and you get 7

the estimated cost is about 7-8 dollars.

exact cost is-7.92
