Question

Victor always runs out of money by the end of the month, so he wants to start keeping a budget. Last month, he spent a total of $176.47 on groceries, $78.66 for phone, and $62.37 on gas. Estimate his monthly total for groceries, phone, and gas by first rounding to the nearest $10.

Answer 1

Yearly budget= $3840

Monthly budget= $320

Explanation:

His budget will be calculated first by rounding off to the nearest$10 all his monthly spending.

For groceries= $176.47

Round off=$ 180.00

For phone =$ 78.66

Round off = $80.00

For gas = $62.37

Round off= $60.00

His total round off = $180+$80+$60

His total round off = $320

Before the round off, his total spending was $176.47+$78.66+$62.37

= $317.5

So his monthly budget should be $320

And yearly budget =$ 320*12

Yearly budget= $3840
