Answer:

No, it will not be enough.

Explanation:

Hello!

This estimation is incorrect, as 5.68 would round up to 6, and 4.1 would round down to 4.

Multiplying them both will give us 24, which can be justified as the actual product is 23.29.

Therefore the estimation of $20 will not be enough for 4.1 pounds of cherries.
