This month a family spent $745 on food next month. The cost of the food is predicted to increase by 3.2%. How much will the family spend next month rounded to the nearest whole dollar

Answer 1

To find the predicted cost of food next month, we need to increase the current cost by 3.2%.

$745 * 0.032 = $23.84 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)

Next, we add the rounded value to the current cost:

$745 + $23 = $768

So, the family is predicted to spend $768 on food next month.
