$1.89, $4.85, $2.59, $1.45, and $5.61
What is the estimated running total to the nearest dollar?

To find the estimated running total to the nearest dollar while shopping, you need to round each item's price to the nearest dollar and then add them up.
Let's round each item's price to the nearest dollar:
$1.89 rounds to $2
$4.85 rounds to $5
$2.59 rounds to $3
$1.45 rounds to $1
$5.61 rounds to $6
Now, let's add up the rounded prices:
$2 + $5 + $3 + $1 + $6 = $17
Therefore, the estimated running total to the nearest dollar is $17.
