Explanation:
If your actual answer is very far from your estimate, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

<em>Additional comment</em>
50 years ago, when a slide rule was the only available calculation tool, making an estimate of the result was a required part of doing the calculation. Not only were the first one or two significant digits needed, but also the power of 10 that multiplied them. Use of a slide rule required the order of magnitude be computed separately (by hand) from the significant digits of the result.

You may also find it useful to estimate the error in your estimate. That is, you may want to know the approximate answer to 2 (or more) significant digits in order to gain confidence that your calculation is correct.
Janet earns more money because she gets paid $8 every 30minutes and in other words is that per hour she gets paid $16. Whereas Sam gets paid $15 every hour. The amount paid at the start determines who gets more
20*5= 100
375+100=475
475/5= 95
Therefore the original price of a sweater is $95
The purpose of solving an algebraic expression in an equation is to find the unknown variable. When two expressions are equated, they form an equation and therefore, it becomes easier to solve for the unknown terms. To solve an equation, place the variables on one side and the constants on the other side.
Sure hope this helps
