Carl earns $35.40 for each wreath he makes. On Thursday Carl makes a total of 6 wreaths. What is the estimated amount Carl earned, rounded to the nearest dollar?

Answer 1

To find out how much Carl earned on Thursday, you can multiply the number of wreaths he made by the amount he earns per wreath.

Carl makes 6 wreaths and earns $35.40 for each wreath.

So, the calculation is:

$$6\text{ wreaths}\times 35.40\text{ dollars/wreath}=212.40\text{ dollars}$$

Now, we need to round $212.40 to the nearest dollar.

Since the decimal part is .40, which is less than .50, we round down.

Thus, the estimated amount Carl earned, rounded to the nearest dollar, is:

$$\boxed{{\displaystyle 212}}$$
