You plan to get a drink which is .99¢, a candy bar which is $1.29, and a bag of chips which is $1.99. Will you have enough money? If you round the cost of each item (up or down depending on the amount) you can see if you will have enough money.

Let’s try... .99¢ drink $1.29 candy bar $1.99 bag of chips This rounds to a $1. This rounds to a $1. This rounds to be $2. If I add them all up, I will spend about $4. I should have enough money to purchase all the items.
