At the grocery store, Cora bought a jar of peanut butter for $1.79 and a quart of milk for $2.87. How Estimate how much should Cora should expect to pay? Estimate the answer by using rounding the prices up:

A: $2
B: $3
C: $5
D: $6



Answer :

Answer:

Cora should expect to pay $5. Here’s how I arrived at that estimate:

1. Peanut Butter: Cora bought a jar of peanut butter for $1.79.

2. Milk: Cora bought a quart of milk for $2.87.

Adding these two amounts together:

1.79 + 2.87 = 4.66

Since we’re rounding up, Cora should expect to pay approximately $5 in total. Therefore, the closest estimate from the given options is C: $5.
