Answer:21 marbles would be added to raise the water 2 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

When 12 marbles are added to a rectangular aquarium, the water in the aquarium rises 1 1/2 inches. Converting 1 1/2 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 3/2 inches

Let x represent the number of marbles that would be added to the aquarium to raise the water 2 3/4 inches. Converting 2 3/4 inches to improper fraction, it becomes 11/4 inches. Therefore

12 marbles = 3/2 inches rise

x marbles = 11/4 inches rise

Cross multiplying,

12 × 11/4 = 3/2 × x

33 = 3x/2

3x = 33 × 2 = 66

x = 66/3 = 21

$3, $1, $5, $2, $3, $9, $1 = $24 - $1 = $23 - $1 = $22.

$22 is the estimation of the bill when all of the amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar. The estimation is greater than the total bill which is 23 cents less than the estimation. The total on the register is reasonable and accurate.
