Answer:

The $20 estimate is too low. $5.68 was incorrectly rounded down; it should have been rounded up to $6. The correct estimate should have been $24, so $20 will not be enough to buy 4.1 pounds of cherries

Answer: No

Explanation:

Cherries costs $5.68 per pound so to find the price of 4.1 pounds, multiply them both together.

$5.68 x 4.1 lb. = $23.3

It costs about $23.3 to purchase 4.1 pounds so you can not buy it with $20.
