Question

When shopping for a new computer, Mason found
that he could buy a desktop for $919 but a comparable
laptop would be $1245. Estimate the difference
between the cost of the desktop and the cost of the
laptop by rounding each number to the nearest ten.

Answer 1

Answer:

$330

Step-by-step explanation:

To round these numbers we would have to look at the tens place which is 9 and 5 respectively. Any number that is 5 and above, (including 5) we would round up. In this case, 9 is above 5, so the desktop would now be $920.

The laptop's tens place has a 5, and that is 5 and above, so we would round up from $1245 to $1250 (by 1 basically.)

Now that we have our two values we can subtract $920 from $1250 to get $330.
