Tom has been asked to hand out free badges. there are 34 boxes and each box contains 22 badges. he estimates he has approximately 700 badges to hand out. is this a reasonable estimation?

Yes, this is a reasonable estimation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of badges in 1 box = 22

Therefore the total number of badges in 34 boxes= 34 times badges in 1 box

When we round off the total number of badges to the nearest hundreds, we get 748≈700 [as 748 is near to 700 than 800]

Estimated number of badges in 34 boxes=700

Therefore, Yes, this is a reasonable estimation.

using pemdas, (order of operations) you'll see the answer is 24.
