Answer:

Explanation:

Well it depends on how much you want to round. Usually when I'm in a store, I round to the nearest whole number. I want to know what the unit price is.

In this case I would round to 32000 and 500. I don't really need to use a calculator to get the answer, but if you do, go ahead.

It's about 64

How close is that to being correct? I need a calculator for this question.

31969 / 488 = 65.51

The estimation is pretty good. At least it we know that the actual answer is somewhere near 64.

Always try and do these questions in your head.

30000 / 500 = 300/5 = 60 which is still a good estimate. On a test, it is a good idea to be able to estimate. Practice it.
