Question

A business owner buys two new office buildings. She pays $635, 895 for one building. She pays $643, 225 for the other building. Part A Write a comparison sentence that compares the prices of the buildings using greater than , less than, or equal to. Part B Round both prices to the nearest ten thousand. Show or explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

Part A
From the two buildings she rents, the building costing $643, 225 price is greater than the other that costs $635, 895

Part B
Round to the nearest ten thousand:
$635, 895 ~ $640, 000
this is because 5,895 rounds to 6,000, and then this rounds to 10,000

$643, 225 ~ $640, 000
this is because 43, 225 rounds to 40,000 the nearest ten thousand
