Question

Tickets to a show cost $5.50 for adults and $4.25 for students. A family is purchasing 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets.Estimate the total cost.

Answer 1

To estimate means to round up or round down, and for this problem I think we round to the nearest dollar. So to start, what does 4.25 round down to and what does 5.50 round up to?

Answer 2

6

Answer 3

Yup so 5.50 rounds to 6 dollars and 4.25 would round down to 4 dollars. The problem says they bought 2 adult tickets and 3 student tickets so all we have to do is 6(2)+4(3) to get your answer

Answer 4

Answer 5

How much tickets they bought. So for 6(2), they bought 2 adult tickets worth 6 bucks, so 6*2=12 dollars worth of adult tickets
