Question

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?

A. $216

B. $210

C. $222

D. $204

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount Carl earned for the 6 wreaths he made, we multiply the number of wreaths by the amount he earns per wreath.

First, calculate the total earnings:

\[
\text{Total earnings} = \text{Number of wreaths} \times \text{Earnings per wreath} = 6 \times 35.40
\]

Now, perform the multiplication:

\[
6 \times 35.40 = 212.40
\]

Next, we round this amount to the nearest dollar:

\[
212.40 \text{ rounds to } 212
\]

Since none of the options provided include 212, let's confirm the math and round one more time, just for clarity.

The choices given are:

A. $216
B. $210
C. $222
D. $204

Given that $212 is closest to $210 when rounding to the nearest ten dollars, the estimated correct answer is:

\[
\text{Rounded Total Earning} \approx 210
\]

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**B. $210**
