Rounding to the Nearest Dollar
Look at the cents to determine if you need to round up or down. In both cases you will replace the cents with zeros. • Less than $0.50: dollar amount stays the same • $.50 or greater: round up to the next dollar
Example
Estimate the answer by rounding the dollar amounts.
Practice
Estimate the answers by rounding the dollar amounts.
Rocky bought new boxing gloves for the tournament. The gloves cost $44.34 and he gave the cashier two $20 bills and one $10 bill. How much change should Rocky get back? How many of each bill and coin should the cashier give him? What is this amount rounded to the nearest dollar?
Change = $5.66 Rounded: $6.00
