Question

Haley worked 287 hours during the summer and earned $16 for each hour she worked.

Which is the closest estimate for the total amount she earned?

$4,500

$5,000

$5,500

$6,000

Answer 1

Answer: The closest estimate for the total amount she earned = $4,500

Explanation:

Given: Total hours worked = 287 hours

Earning for each hour = $16

Total earning = (Total hours worked ) x (Earning for each hour)

= $ (287 x 16)

= $ 4592 ≈ $4500

The closest estimate for the total amount she earned = $4500
