Question

a music store sells 512 guitars and 186 drums. which value is the best estimate for the total number of guitar and drum sales? you can use the bar graph to help. 500 600 700 800

Explanation:

Step1: Round the numbers

Round 512 to the nearest hundred, which is 500, and round 186 to the nearest hundred, which is 200.

Step2: Add the rounded numbers

Add the rounded values: $500 + 200 = 700$. Alternatively, we can also do a more precise estimate by rounding 512 to 500 and 186 to 200, or we can see that 512 is close to 500 and 186 is close to 200, and 500 + 200 = 700. Also, if we do 512 + 186 directly, we get 698, which is closest to 700.

Answer:

700
