QuestionEstimate the total cost for three kids' summer camps: \$375, \$433, and \$450 rounded to the nearest hundred.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The cost of the summer camp for the youngest child is $375. The cost of the summer camp for the middle child is$ 4333. The cost of the summer camp for the oldest child is $4504. We are estimating the total cost by rounding each individual cost to the nearest hundred

STEP 2

First, we round each individual cost to the nearest hundred.For the youngest child, the cost is $375. This rounds down to$ 300 because it is closer to $300 than$ 400.
$\text{Rounded cost for youngest child} = \$300$

STEP 3

For the middle child, the cost is $433. This rounds up to$ 400 because it is closer to $400 than$ 300.
$\text{Rounded cost for middle child} = \$400$

STEP 4

For the oldest child, the cost is $450. This rounds up to$ 500 because it is closer to $500 than$ 400.
$\text{Rounded cost for oldest child} = \$500$

STEP 5

Now that we have the rounded costs, we can add them together to estimate the total cost of sending all three children to summer camp.
$\text{Total cost} = \text{Rounded cost for youngest child} + \text{Rounded cost for middle child} + \text{Rounded cost for oldest child}$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the rounded costs to calculate the total cost.
$\text{Total cost} = \$300 + \$400 + \$500$

STEP 7

Calculate the total cost.
$\text{Total cost} = \$300 + \$400 + \$500 = \$1200$ The estimated cost to send the three kids to summer camp is $1200.
