What are your estimates?

343+ -42 - 402
My estimate is -102
Actual answer = -101

I'll be glad to check your answers.
That is what I had for the first one. Wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly.
Don't worry too much if your estimate is far different from the actual answer. We learn by making mistakes. :-)
