Question

Michael scores 397 points on level 1 of a video game he scores 132 more points on level 2. He then loses 246 points on level 3. Use estimation to find how many points he has now

I can round 397 to
I can round 132 to
I can round 246 to

Answer 1

To estimate Michael's total points after all three levels, you can round the numbers as follows:

- I can round **397** to **400**.
- I can round **132** to **100**.
- I can round **246** to **200**.

Now, let's estimate the total points:

1. Points from level 1 (rounded): **400**
2. Points added from level 2 (rounded): **100**
3. Points lost on level 3 (rounded): **200**

Now, calculate the estimated total:

\[ 400 + 100 - 200 = 300 \]

Therefore, using estimation, Michael has approximately **300 points** now.
