A furniture company is ordering screws. The company uses 37 screws to make each table and 14 screws to make each chair. The comp

any needs to order screws for 12 tables and 48 chairs.
Which answer is the most reasonable estimate of the total number of screws they need to order?

800 screws because 30 × 10 + 10 × 50 = 800

900 screws because 40 × 10 + 10 × 50 = 900

1,400 screws because 40 × 10 + 20 × 50 = 1,400

1,800 screws because 40 × 20 + 20 × 50 = 1,800
