Check for reasonableness Jim paid 9.82 for a book he told Nora the car was about 10.00 was 10.00 a reasonable rounded amount EXPLAIN!!
What do you mean? The car was about 10.00
Sorry I mean cost
Yes, $10 was a reasonable amount. It's only 12 cents more than the actual cost.
To check for reasonableness, we can compare the amount Jim paid for the book ($9.82) with the amount he stated the car was worth (approximately $10.00).
To determine if $10.00 is a reasonable rounded amount, you can follow these steps:
1. Look at the values involved: $9.82 and $10.00.
2. Round both values to the nearest dollar. In this case, both values are already rounded to the nearest cent, so we can leave them as they are.
3. Compare the rounded amounts. $9.82 is very close to $10.00; the difference is only $0.18. Given the small difference, we can consider $10.00 a reasonable rounded amount based on the information provided.
In this case, since Jim paid almost $9.82 for the book, it is reasonable to think that he would round the price up to $10.00 when talking to Nora about it.
