Yes. When solving a problem like this, multiply the base numbers normally, and add the exponents together.

Number one: Just plot down on the number like the numbers you have. Just took the test for this.
The answer should not depend on which machine or which pencil you use to
find it. If you work a problem two different ways and get two different answers,
then at least one of them is wrong, and there's a pretty good chance that both
of them are.
(9.99 of anything) + (1.11 of the same thing) = 11.1 of them
9.99 (x 10^-2) + 1.11 (x 10^-2) = <em>11.1 (x 10^-2)</em> .
Can we do any more with that ?
10^-2 = 1 / 10^2 = 1 / 100 .
11.1 x 10^-2 = 11.1 / 100 = <em>0.111</em>
Answer:
160,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimations like this usually involve rounding to easy numbers to multiply. You could do this in a number of ways depending on your ability to keep track of factors in your head, but the easiest way (and what I assume your teacher is looking for) is to round to the nearest, largest-power-of-ten, which in this case is the hundreds. 786 is closest to 800, and 217 is closest to 200, and 200*800 is 160,000. No calculator required is the key. You can also be slightly more sure that this is <em>reasonable</em> because you rounded up for one and down for the other, approximately by the same amount, too.
