Question

Berenika wants to buy 35 T-shirts.
Each T-shirt costs £5.80
Berenika does the calculation 40 × 6 = 240 to estimate the cost of 35 T-shirts.
(a) Explain how Berenika’s calculation shows the actual cost will be less than £240

Answer 1

Answer:

The actual cost will be less than Berenika's calculations because she rounded the number of t-shirts and the cost of each t-shirt to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The estimated cost by Berenika = 40 x 6 = £240

Actual cost of 35 t-shirts = 35 x 5.80 = £203
