Shen’s mother gave him $10 to go buy groceries. He picked up a gallon of milk for $3.49, three pounds of oranges that cost $1.14 per pound, and a box of cereal for $3.46. Shen used front-end estimation to determine whether he had enough money for the groceries. How much did he estimate the total cost would be? He estimated that he had about $7 worth of groceries.
He estimated that he had about $9 worth of groceries.
He estimated that he had about $10.30 worth of groceries.
He estimated that he had about $10.40 worth of groceries.

Gallon of milk: $3.49

3lbs oranges: $1.14(3) = $3.42

Box of cereal: $3.46

Front end estimation is taking the number in front and the rest of the numbers coming after it will be zeroes.

Using front end estimation:

$3.49 => $3.00

$3.42 => $3.00

$3.46 => $3.00

Add all these up; Shen estimated the total cost of the groceries would be $9.00.

B

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get
