Answer:

  49,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The divisor is 4.084. When it is rounded to the nearest whole number, it is 4.

Then the division problem becomes ...

  196,900/4 ≈ 49,000 . . . . . . showing just 2 significant digits for the estimate

__

The point of an estimate is to obtain an approximate answer that is within a few percent of the actual answer. Here, rounding 4.084 to 4.000 gives an error on the order of .084/4 ≈ 2.1%. Because we're using a smaller divisor, the value we obtain for our estimate will be too large by about that amount.

Often, an estimate that has 1 or 2 significant digits is "close enough" for the purpose. Because a change in our estimated value of 1 in the least significant digit is a change of about 2%, we judge this estimate to be "close enough", given the rounding we did to start. Keeping 3 significant digits in our estimate would claim an accuracy that it does not have.

Tia’s car needs repairs. Honest Harry will charge $70 per hour plus $130 for the part. Lucky Lou will charge $80 per hour plus $
elena-s [515]
To answer the question above, let x the number of hours for the two jobs to cost equal. Harry's charge can be expressed as 70x + 130 and that of Lou is 80x + 40. Equating both, 
  
                               70x + 130 = 80x + 40      ; x = 9

Thus, the job should take 9 hours for both charges to be equal.
