Sure, I can help you with that.
Given the prices of the 6 grocery items, rounding each price to the nearest dollar, we get:
$4.24 rounds to $4.
$8.97 rounds to $9.
$5.54 rounds to $6.
$13.34 rounds to $13.
$14.35 rounds to $14.
$8.79 rounds to $9.
So, the estimated total cost is $4 + $9 + $6 + $13 + $14 + $9 = $55.
The actual total cost is $4.24 + $8.97 + $5.54 + $13.34 + $14.35 + $8.79 = $55.23.
Therefore, the actual total cost is slightly more than the estimated total cost of $55.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
