Question

Robyn saves up $204 and spends $32.50 on books. She wants to purchase more books from a sale where they cost $8.15 each. Which answer gives the best estimate for the number of books Robyn can buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 21 books

Explanation:

I am estimating $32.50 to $33.

Remaining amount= 204 - 33 = $171

$8.15 = $8

$171 ÷ $8 = 21.375

Estimated answer = 21 books.

By reading the question it feels like there are options to choose from for the final answer. If it is, then choose the one which seems as close as possible to what I have got above.

Hope this helps :)
