Casey wants to buy some instruments for his niece and nephew. He has $40 to spend. Based on the prices listed below, what is the estimated total, rounded to the nearest dollar? Which explains why he can afford the tambourine and xylophone? Tambourine: $13.95
Xylophone $23.50
The estimated total to the nearest dollar is $38, so he can afford them. The estimated total to the nearest dollar is $37, so he can afford them. The estimated total to the nearest dollar is $36, so he can afford them. The estimated total to the nearest dollar is $37.45, so he can afford them.

Answer 1

$37 because when uu add the tambourine and xylophone uu get $37.45 but we have to round to the nearest dollar and the nearest dollar is 7 and the number next to it is not 5 or higher so we turn it to 0’s and uu get $37 .
