Larry has $20 to spend at the store. He plans to purchase five items that cost $5.79, $7.63, $3.46, $2.99, and $3.65. Larry estimated his total cost to make sure he has enough money for his purchases. Is his estimate accurate? Explain why or why not. $5 + $7 + $3 + $2 + $3 = $20

Larry seems to be forgetting to round up. 5.79 is more than 5 dollars and thus his estimate is going to be off. 2.99 is also more than two dollars so from just two examples we can see his estimate isn't going to be accurate.
yes right @Isry
