To estimate the total number of stuffed bears the store ordered, you can multiply the number of crates by the number of bears per crate.
The calculation is:
26 crates × 21 bears per crate = 546 bears.
For estimation purposes, you can round the numbers:
- 26 is approximately 30.
- 21 is approximately 20.
Now, calculating the estimated quantity:
30 × 20 = 600.
So, the best estimate of how many stuffed bears the store ordered is 600.
