Nate sells wooden boxes.
He sells 8 small boxes and 3 large boxes.
He sells small boxes for $12 each.
He sells large boxes for $17 each.
What is the most reasonable estimate of the total sale of the wooden boxes?
A.
$260
B.
$50
C.
$40
D.
$160
The total sale can be estimated by calculating the total cost of the small boxes and the total cost of the large boxes.
Total cost of small boxes = 8 small boxes * $12 each = $96
Total cost of large boxes = 3 large boxes * $17 each = $51
Therefore, the most reasonable estimate of the total sale of the wooden boxes is $96 + $51 = $147.
Therefore, the most reasonable estimate would be option A. $260.
