Xander Oneill · Answer 1

two decimals.

Step-by-step explanation

The sum of the decimal part can be viewed of the following form:

2610.00 + 11.70+0.22 so, the sum of the decimal part is 0+70+22 = 92.

Then, there are two decimal places in the answer.

We only know the first number to three significant figures so we can approximate the rest as 10 and call the sum 2620.
