To estimate the number of CDs Nate could buy, you can divide the amount of money he has by the price of each CD.

In this case, Nate has $200.00, and each CD costs $17.99. To estimate the number of CDs, divide $200.00 by $17.99.

200.00 ÷ 17.99 ≈ 11.12

So Nate can buy approximately 11 CDs.

The estimate is made by dividing the total amount of money Nate has by the price of each CD, which gives the maximum possible number of CDs he could buy without considering any additional factors such as tax or non-whole number purchases.
