Question

1. a game store sells video games for $22. the game st expects to sell 8 video games in one hour. choose the estimate for how much money the game store owner expect to make on video games in one hour? a. about $1,600 b. about $160 c. about $240 d. about $200

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

To find the total money made, we use the formula: Total = Price per game × Number of games sold. Here, the price per game is $22, and the number of games sold is 8. But since we need an estimate, we can round $22 to $20 for easier calculation.

Step2: Perform the estimation

Using the rounded price, we calculate $20 × 8 = $160. But wait, if we consider a closer estimate, $22 is closer to $20 or $25? Wait, no, 22×8: 20×8=160, 2×8=16, so 160+16=176. But the options are about $160, $240, $200, $1600. Wait, maybe the problem is expecting a rough estimate. Wait, 22 is approximately 20, 8 is 8. So 20×8=160. But let's check the options. Option B is about $160, but wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, 22×8: 22×8=176. Now, looking at the options, $160 is close (since 22≈20), $200 is also close. Wait, maybe the problem has a typo? Wait, no, the original problem: "sells video games for $22. The game st expects to sell 8 video games in one hour." So total is 22×8. Let's calculate 22×8: 20×8=160, 2×8=16, so 176. Now, the options: A is 1600 (way too big), B is 160, C is 240, D is 200. 176 is closest to 200? Wait, no, 176 is closer to 200? Wait, 176 - 160 = 16, 200 - 176 = 24. So 160 is closer. Wait, maybe the question is expecting 22≈20, so 20×8=160. So the answer should be B? Wait, but 22×8 is 176, which is closer to 200? Wait, no, 176 is 24 less than 200, and 16 more than 160. So 160 is closer. So the correct estimate is about $160, which is option B. Wait, but let's check again. Maybe the problem is 22×8, estimate. 22 is about 20, 8 is 8. 20×8=160. So option B.

Answer:

B. about $160
