A student performs the following estimations. 35+192 230 258+350 610 947+1032 1980 Based on these estimations, which of the following is the student’s estimate of 694+7618?
A. 8320
B. 8500
C. 8300
D. 8310
Here we need to find the actual values of the additions and see the trend the student will use to estimate the given problem. The exact sum is as follows
35+192=227
258+350=608
947+1032=1979
From the above calculations, it is evident that the student rounds up or down the ones place values. So, in the problem we need to approximate 694+7618.
694+7618=8312
We can approximate 8312 based on the provided choices is 8310.
Therefore, the Correct Answer is D.

Q #1: A sweater that normally sells for $78 is marked 15% off. Which of the following estimates the sale price of the sweater?
A. $12
B. $66
C. $22
D. $69
Answer Explanation
we are to find the selling price of the sweater from the marked price and the discount. The marked price is given as
Discount=mark off rate*original price
Discount=15%*$78
Convert 15% into a fraction, which become 15/100=0.15. Then
Discount=0.15*$78=$11.70
The selling price of the sweater will be the original price less the discount or mark off value. Then,
Thus, the approximate selling price of the sweater is $66.

Q #6: A teacher earns $730.00 per week before any tax deductions. The following taxes are deducted each week: $72.00 federal income tax, $35.00 state income tax, and $65.00 Social Security tax. How much will the teacher make in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted?
A. $2,250.00
B. $2,550.00
C. $2,400.00
D. $2,232.00
Answer Explanation
The net income is the salary of the teacher gets after deducting total taxes.
Weekly net income=weekly gross income-total tax
Total tax=federal income tax+state income tax+Social Security tax
Total tax=$(72.00+35.00+65.00)
Total tax=$172.00
Weekly net income=$(730.00-172.00)=$558.00
The net income the teacher gets in 4 weeks is what she gets in one week multiplied by 4
The teacher will earn a net income of $2,232.00 in 4 weeks after taxes are deducted.
