Answer: 107

Explanation:

102.3 can be rounded down to 102 (because the 3 at the end of the number is less than 5)

4.7 can be rounded up to 5 (because the 7 at the end of the number is greater than 5).

102.3 → estimate = 102

4.7 → estimate = 5

estimated sum = 107

Note that estimating the sum is NOT the same as simply adding the numbers and then rounding the sum.
