Shen's mother gave him $10 to go buy groceries. He picked up a gallon of milk for $3.49, three pounds of oranges that cost $1.14 per pound, and a box of cereal for $3.46. Shen used front-end estimation to determine whether he had enough money for the groceries. How much did he estimate the total cost would be? He estimated that he had about $7 worth of groceries. He estimated that he had about $9 worth of groceries. He estimated that he had about $10.30 worth of groceries. He estimated that he had about $10.40 worth of groceries.

He estimated that he had about $9 worth of groceries

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Gallon of milk =  $3.49

Three pounds of  oranges = $1.14(3) = $3.42

Box of cereal =  $3.46

Here the front end estimation should be applied that means only considered the number that shows in the front side and the remaining numbers should be zeros

Now applying the front end estimation, It shows like this

$3.49 => $3.00

$3.42 => $3.00

$3.46 => $3.00

Now sum of all 3 that comes 9

Therefore the second option is correct

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130

square root of 36/6 = 2.449489743

square root of 16/6 = 1.632993162

square root of 6 = 2.449489743

the answer is square root of 16/6 because the square root of 36/6 is the same answer as square root of 6 = 2.449489743
