A.9

B.10

C.25

D.26

E. None correct

Answer 1

D. 26

Explanation:

We have to round to whole numbers before adding.

When approximating to whole numbers, if the number after the decimal is less than 5, you round down to 0 but if it is greater or equal to 5, you round up to 1.

17.36 ≅ 17

8.7 ≅ 9

Therefore:

17 + 9 = 26
