Mrs. smith bought her three children new raincoats. each raincoat cost $25.99.about how much did mrs. smith spend on the 3 rain coats. is your estimate an overestimate or underestimate

Try rounding up $25.99 to $26. This will give you an accurate estimate to how much she spends. You would then do 26 x 3 (as she bought 3 raincoats for that price) which would give you $78. This is an overestimate as you had to round the price up, meaning you added to the total price. Hope this helped (And the exact answer is $77.97)
