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.

A) $34

B) $57

C) $61

D) $69

Estimated bill amount is $57

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Round off the cost of 1 appetizer.

Cost of 1 appetizer = $6.50 ≈ $7

Step 2:

Find the cost of 2 main courses.

Cost of 1 main course = $15.75 ≈ $16

∴ Cost of 2 main courses = 2 * 16 = $32

Step 3:

Find cost of 2 drinks.

Cost of 1 drink = $2.25 ≈ $2

∴ Cost of 2 drinks = 2 * 2 = $4

Step 4:

Find the cost of 2 desserts.

Cost of 1 dessert = $7.25 ≈ $7

∴ Cost of 2 desserts = 7 * 2 = $14

Step 5:

Add all and find the total cost.

Estimated Total bill amount = 7 + 32 + 4 + 14 = $57
