Question

Tanisha lives in an apartment and pays the following expenses each month: electric bill, $42.60
; TV streaming service, $27.99
; and rent, $587.70
. Estimate her total expenses for the month by first rounding each value to the nearest tens place.

Answer 1

Round each amount to the nearest ten:
- $42.60 → $40
- $27.99 → $30
- $587.70 → $590

Estimated total = $40 + $30 + $590 = $660.
