.Margaret is treating her best friend to a birthday dinner. Before ordering, Margaret wants to have an idea of the final bill. The order includes one appetizer for $6.50, two main courses for $15.75 each, two drinks for $2.25 each, and two desserts for $7.25 each. Round each amount up to the nearest whole dollar to find an overestimate of the total cost.

Simple enough! We simply round up each cost to the nearest whole dollar. $6.50 can be rounded to $7, $15.75 can be rounded up to $16, $2.25 can be rounded up to $3 (Note we're rounding up, in normal rounding we would round down to $2). Finally, $7.25 can be rounded up to $8.

Next comes simple algebra,

[tex]7+(16*2)+(3*2)+(8*2)=61[/tex]

Therfore, your overestimate of the cost would be 61.

Answer:

61

Because
7 + (16*2) + (3*2) + (8*2)=
7 + 32 + 6 + 16 =
39 + 6 + 16 =
45 + 16 =
45 + 16 = 61
61
61$ is the nearest whole dollar to find an overestimate of the total cost.

Hope this helps you☺️
