Question

A philanthropist wants to give $2,999 each to 100 different environmental nonprofit groups. How much money will he give away?
2,999 x _ = $_
The answer is reasonable because the total amount should be greater than how much is given to just one charity.

Answer 1

To fill in the blanks:

2,999 x 100 = $299,900

The answer is reasonable because the total amount should be greater than how much is given to just one charity (which is $2,999). In fact, $299,900 is much greater than $2,999.
