Question

Beth’s father asked her to buy party favors for her little brother’s birthday party. Party hats cost $1.60 each, balloons cost $.75 each, and noisemakers cost $.89 each. If each of the nine children receives one of each of the favors, find a reasonable estimate of the total cost of the party favors by rounding each amount to the nearest dollar.

Answer 1

$36
I think
$0.89 rounds up to $1.00
$0.75 rounds up to $1.00
$1.60 rounds up to $2.00
then multiply each by 9 for the 9 children
9
9
18
then add together
9+9+18=36
