Answer 1

To estimate the total number of paper towels, we can multiply the number of rolls by the number of towels per roll:

Georgia bought 8 rolls and each roll has 96 towels.

Calculating the total: \[ 8 \text{ rolls} \times 96 \text{ towels/roll} = 768 \text{ towels} \]

Now, looking at the response options, the closest estimate to 768 is:

800

So, the best estimate for the total number of paper towels Georgia bought is 800.
