You go to the grocery store to buy milk and some eggs. Milk costs $3.67 and eggs cost $2.40. You want to make sure you have enough money. Estimate the cost of these two items to the nearest ones place.

Question

$7

Answer 1

To estimate the total cost of the milk and eggs to the nearest one's place:

• Milk costs $3.67, which can be estimated to $4.00.
• Eggs cost $2.40, which can be estimated to $2.00.

Now, add the estimated costs:

$4.00 (milk) + $2.00 (eggs) = $6.00

So the estimated total cost is approximately $6.00.

The closest option to this estimate is $6.
