Question

Suman quickly estimated the product of $796\times 19$ in the following manner: He rounded each number to the nearest ten. He multiplied these new numbers together. What was Suman's estimate?

• A. $14,000$
• B. $15,010$
• C. $15,200$
• D. $16,000$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $16,000$

Two given numbers are $796$ and $19$.

Rounding off $796$ gives $800$ and that of $19$ gives $20$.

So, the estimates product is $800\times 20=16000$.

So, the answer is option D.
