Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer for this problem would be B

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing I would do in this problem is see how much money he would make in a day. You would do this by doing,

28 x 8 = 224

Now that we know how much money he makes in a day, you should multiply $224 by 6 days to see if his estimate was correct or not.

224 x 6 = 1,344

With this we can conclude his estimate was close enough, since it was only $4 off.

Answer 2

For this problem will be B
