An estimate helps you place the decimal point when multiplying because if you find out how many decimals there are and once you are done doing you estimated multiplication you put two decimal points after that.
Hope I helped some what and didn't make you confused.
January . . . $57.85
March . . . . 4 times as much = 4 (57.85) = $231.40
Deposit 78.45 more . . . ($231.40 + 78.45) = <em>$309.85</em> .
Notice that "interest" is never mentioned anywhere in this problem.
In other words, it doesn't matter whether Julie's savings account is
in a bucket in the basement, a mayonnaise jar on the porch, under
her mattress, or in a bank that pays no interest.
Without interest, $309.85 is what she <em><u>does</u></em> have<em><u /></em> in November, which
is about right for savings accounts in banks these days.
What her balance <em><u>should</u></em> be in November is an entirely different subject.

Roughly 1.3
Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 * 4 = 1.33~
