Example Question #24 : How To Multiply

Yesterday, Joe's dad worked for 7.5 hours at a rate of $12.50 per hour. Approximately how much money did he earn yesterday?

Possible Answers:

$60

$166

$75

$125

$95

Correct answer:

$95

Explanation:

First look at the answer choices. They are all at least $15 apart from one another, so we know that we can approximate the answer without worrying about being off by $1 or so.

Let's round 7.5 hours up to 8 hours, and then $12.50 down to $12. Working 8 hours at a rate of $12 per hour gives us a total earnings of $96. The closest answer choice is $95, so that's our answer.

The exact total is in fact $93.75, which is very close to both the answer choice and our approximation.
