1. at the grocery store checkout, you watch at the register as it rings up your purchases and coupons. the prices were as follows: $2.95 $1.19 $4.61 $1.74 $3.04 $8.83 $1.16 – $0.75 (coupon) – $1.00 (coupon) the register gives your total bill as $21.77. estimate the total amount of the bill and use your answer to determine whether the total on the register is reasonable.

estimate  by rounded to the nearest dollars

2 +1 +5 +2 +3 +9 +1 =  $23

-2

23-2 = 21

 yes the amount is reasonable

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.

make sure you have version 2.50

try looking in the very back of the book : )
