Francesca is afraid she won’t have enough money to treat herself and two friends to a movie and snacks. Movie tickets cost $7.50
each, medium popcorns cost $2.95 each, and medium soft drinks cost $2.70 each. Round each amount up to the nearest whole dollar to find a reasonable overestimate of the total cost of the evening’s entertainment.
Alright, so let's get started. First, what you'll focus on doing is rounding each item to the nearest whole dollar. Remember, you have yourself and 3 friends. So: Movie tickets- $8 x 3 = $24 Medium Popcorns- $3 x 3 = $9 Medium Soft Drinks- $3 x 3 = $9 So, altogether: $42 If you want to include tax as well, go for it. So maybe $45?
