STEP 1
What is this asking?
We need to multiply by and pick the correct answer from the choices.
Watch out!
Don't forget to consider the decimal places when multiplying, and make sure the units make sense!
We're dealing with dollars here.
STEP 2
1. Round and estimate
2. Precise calculation
3. Check against the estimate
STEP 3
Let's **round** to to make the multiplication easier.
This is a great way to get a quick estimate!
STEP 4
Now, we **multiply** our rounded value by :
So, our **estimate** is .
This gives us a ballpark figure and helps us catch any major errors later.
STEP 5
Let's **multiply** by precisely:
STEP 6
We can rewrite as and distribute the multiplication:
STEP 7
Now, let's **calculate** each part:
STEP 8
**Add** these two results together:
STEP 9
Since we're dealing with money, we **round** to two decimal places:
STEP 10
Our precise answer is , and our estimate was .
These are very close, which gives us confidence in our calculation!
The small difference is expected because we rounded up to in our estimate.
STEP 11
The correct answer is .
Since this isn't one of the provided options, we can confidently say none of the provided answers are correct!
