Ms. Davis counts 12 large boxes and 18 small boxes of pencils in the supply cabinet. Each large box contains 144 pencils. Each small box contains 24 pencils. Estimate the number of pencils. Is your estimate an underestimate or an overestimate? The find the exact answer.

Estimated amount of pencils = 2040 pencils

Exact amount of pencils = 2160 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Estimated amount of pencils are calculated by:

rounding up the numbers to the nearest tens

large box= 144 pencils = 140 pencils

small box = 24 pencils = 20 pencils

Estimated number of pencils =

(12 × 140) + (18 × 20)

= 1680 + 360

= 2040 pencils

This is an underestimate

The exact number of pencils is calculated as:

(12 × 144 pencils ) + (18 × 24 pencils)

= 1728 pencils + 432

= 2160 pencils
