Answer:

  • $52
  • this estimate is a little low

Explanation:

a) I might choose 6 1/2 hours and $8 per hour, so the estimated earnings would be ...

  6(8) +(1/2)(8) = 52 dollars . . . . estimated earnings

These values are purposely chosen so that one is a little high and the other is a little low, hopefully producing a closer estimate than if both numbers were high (as 7 hours, $8, for example).

__

b) Using 800 instead of 790 means the pay estimate is about 1/80 = 1.25% high.

Using 6 1/2 instead of 6 3/4 means the hours estimate is about 1/27 ≈ 3.7% low.

So, we expect the product of these values to be slightly low, perhaps by about 2.5%.

_____

<em>Comment on estimating</em>

If you can estimate the error in the estimate with some reasonable accuracy, you can use that to adjust the estimate to a pretty close value.

A superhero recently asked his nemesis how many cats she has. She answered with a​ riddle: ​"One-half of my cats plus two​."
mixer [17]
I got ten. Here's the equation. 

x = 1/2x + 5 

<span>Subtract 1/2x from both sides to get all x's on one side </span>

<span>x - 1/2x = 1/2x - 1/2x + 5 </span>

<span>1/2x = 5 </span>

<span>Now multiple the left by 2 to get x, but since it's an equation, you need to also multiply the right by 2 to keep it =. </span>

<span>2 * 1/2x = 2 * 5 </span>

<span>x = 10 cats</span>
