To determine the best situation for which Mr. Williams would most likely need to find an estimate, let's analyze each option:
1. **To find whether he earns $2,000 each month after taxes**: This requires a calculation to estimate monthly earnings based on his hourly rate and hours worked per week.
2. **To find how much money he earns each week**: This can be calculated directly using his hourly wage and hours worked, making it straightforward and unlikely to require an estimate.
3. **To find how much money he will have after he pays his mortgage**: This is dependent on specific mortgage amounts and payments, and while estimates might be used, it involves multiple factors.
4. **To make a circle graph to show how his money is saved and spent**: This would depend on specific figures regarding savings and spending, and estimates could be involved based on those figures.
Among these options, the first one is the best candidate where he would most likely need to find an estimate. The question of whether he earns $2,000 each month involves estimating his total earnings based on his weekly pay over a month, which requires an estimation process. Specifically, calculating his weekly earnings, \( 17.25 \times 32 \), and then multiplying by the number of weeks in a month provides a basis for the estimate.
