.Margaret is treating her best friend to a birthday dinner. Before ordering, Margaret wants to have an idea of the final bill. The order includes one appetizer for $6.50, two main courses for $15.75 each, two drinks for $2.25 each, and two desserts for $7.25 each. Round each amount up to the nearest whole dollar to find an overestimate of the total cost.

Your answer is 61.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple enough! We simply round up each cost to the nearest whole dollar. $6.50 can be rounded to $7, $15.75 can be rounded up to $16, $2.25 can be rounded up to $3 (Note we're rounding up, in normal rounding we would round down to $2). Finally, $7.25 can be rounded up to $8.

Next comes simple algebra,

Therfore, your overestimate of the cost would be 61.

probability for j is 1/4

a is 1/6
