Question

Mr and mrs. Dorsey and their three children are fling to Springfield. The cost of each ticket is $179. Estimate how much the tickets will cost. Then find the exact cost of the tickets.

Answer 1

First figure out how many people there are all together. So mrs and mr is 2 there three children so 2+3=5 so next round 179 to 200 and multiply 200x5. To do that you can use the mental math way witch would be to take the whole number out of 200 and make it 2. Then take the 5 in 200x5 and multiply 2x5. Then add the 2 zeros there were. And your estamated answer would be 1,000.
2+3=5
179=200
200x5
2x5=10
1,000
To figure out your real answer you will have to take 179 and multiply it by 5 so it will look like this:
 34
179
x
   5
895
Soto conculde the answer would be:

Estamated: $1,000

Exact: $895

Hope this helps!
