Question

Solve this problem using estimation.

Melissa bought 18 cupcakes and 2 gallons of fruit punch for her Valentine party. If the cupcakes cost $.28 each and the punch costs $2.78 a gallon, estimate her total bill.

Answer 1

the answer you're looking for is $11.00

(18 x 0.28) + ($2.78 x 2) = $10.6 round $10.6 to the nearest dollar and you'll get $11.00
