EXAMPLE 2 Predicting Results $20.00 $9.21 – Shopping You buy a T-shirt that costs $9.21. You give the clerk $ Estimate your change. Is this estimate high or low?
EXAMPLE 2 Predicting Results $20 $9 Round 9.21 down to 9. $20.00 $9.21 – Shopping – You buy a T-shirt that costs $9.21. You give the clerk $ Estimate your change. Is this estimate high or low?
EXAMPLE 2 Predicting Results ANSWER Your change is about $11. This estimate is high $20 $9 Round 9.21 down to 9. $20.00 $9.21 – Shopping – because you subtracted too little by rounding $9.21 to $9.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 2 and 3 Use front-end estimation to estimate the sum
ANSWER GUIDED PRACTICE 20 for Examples 2 and 3 Use front-end estimation to estimate the sum
GUIDED PRACTICE Use front-end estimation to estimate the sum for Examples 2 and 3
ANSWER GUIDED PRACTICE 18 for Examples 2 and 3 Use front-end estimation to estimate the sum
GUIDED PRACTICE Use front-end estimation to estimate the sum. How can you estimate the difference in Example 2 so that your answer is a low estimate? $20.00 $9.21 – for Examples 2 and 3
GUIDED PRACTICE Use front-end estimation to estimate the sum. How can you estimate the difference in Example 2 so that your answer is a low estimate? Round 9.21 up to 10. $20.00 $9.21 – $20.00 $10.00 – for Examples 2 and 3
GUIDED PRACTICE Use front-end estimation to estimate the sum. How can you estimate the difference in Example 2 so that your answer is a low estimate? ANSWER Your change is about 10. This estimate is low because you subtracted too much by rounding 9.21 to 10. Round 9.21 up to – – for Examples 2 and 3
