To decorate her bedroom, Lisa spent $62.89 on new bedding, $48.26 on paint, and $81.99 on accessories. About how much did she spend to decorate her bedroom?

the problem says "about how much" which indicates they are most likely looking for an approximation perhaps, try rounding to the nearest dollar for example: $62.89. look at the ones digit (2), then moving to the next digit over ---> it's an 8, which is at least 5, so we round up to $63. repeat this logic with the rest of the numbers and add up the approximations
