Step-by-step explanation: Its really simple actully so what you do is you take 3.95 and you mulitply is by 18 or you can add 3.95 plus 3.95 18 times and you get drum roll please 71.1$. I hope my answer was help ful

Answer 2

1. this way is overestimating

assume that you are getting 20 pounds of cheese. that is 2 tens. so multiply 3.95 by 10 = 39.5 thats the price for 10 pounds of cheese. Since we're estimating to get 20 pounds, multiply by two or add 39.5 together twice. 79 dollars this is overestimating since you're raising the amount of cheese you're buying by 2 pounds

2. his way is overestimating

assume its 4 dollars per pound. 18*4 would be 10*4 + 8*4= 40+32 = 72 dollar

this is overestimating because you're raising the price of the cheese by 5 cents.
