Megan has $45.12 in her purse. She spends $7.89 for lunch and $21.25 for a pair of sunglasses. Which is the best estimate for the amount of money Megan has left?

Answer 1

To estimate the amount of money Megan has left, we can subtract the total amount she spent from the amount she started with.

Total amount Megan spent = $7.89 + $21.25 = $<<7.89+21.25=29.14>>29.14

Amount Megan has left = $45.12 - $29.14 = $<<45.12-29.14=15.98>>15.98

The best estimate for the amount of money Megan has left is $15.98.
