Question

Payton goes shopping. She finds two shirts. One costs $24.97 and the other costs $13.75. She needs to

know if she has enough money to buy both shirts. Using mental math, she rounds $24.97 to $25.00 and
adds that to $13.75 to get $38.75. How does Payton need to compensate to find the exact total of the two
shirts?
O A. Subtract $0.03.
B. Add $0.03.
O C. Add $0.25.
OD. Subtract $0.28.

Answer 1

A subtract 0.03

Explanation:

This is because when she rounded $24.97 to $25.00 she added $0.03 cents so she needs to subtract that amount to get the exact number.
