The total bill was $ Is this amount reasonable? To check, round the cost of each item to the nearest dollar. This bill of $18.67 seems high compared to the $15.00 estimate. Actual Cost: $14.67

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2008, there were 220,948,915 Americans 20 years and older. Assuming the circle graph is representative of this age group, a. Determine a calculation that shows the number of Americans 20 years and older who define old age by a decline in physical ability. b. Use rounding to find a reasonable estimate.

Estimate a man’s increased life expectancy, rounded to the nearest hundredth of a year, for each future birth year. For each subsequent birth year, a man’s life expectancy is increasing by approximately 0.19 year.

The percentage of seniors using marijuana decreased at the greatest rate in the five-year period from 1985 through 1990.
