Sure! Let's break down the process step by step to estimate the total dollars taken in from the sale of the tickets:

1. Identify the original numbers:
- Number of tickets sold: 42
- Cost per ticket: \[tex]$29 2. Round each number to its nearest ten: - The number of tickets sold, 42, rounds down to 40. - The cost per ticket, \$[/tex]29, rounds up to \[tex]$30. 3. Multiply the rounded numbers to estimate the total income: - Multiply the rounded number of tickets sold (40) by the rounded ticket cost (\$[/tex]30):

[tex]\[ 40 \times 30 = 1200 \][/tex]

So, the estimated total dollars taken in from selling the tickets is \$1200.
