You go furniture shopping and see a sign advertising: 25% off all dining furniture 30% off living room furniture 35% off bed sets You find a couch that you'd like for your living room, marked at $765. Estimate the cost of the couch after the discount (don't do an exact calculation). Describe your estimation strategy. In other words, don't just say something like "about $300"- describe the process you used to come up with that estimate. Note: There is not a "right" answer here - there are a lot of ways to come up with reasonable estimates, and not everyone's estimate will be the same (though they should be fairly close).​

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

The couch is 765

Rounding its price to 750 dollars

We get 30 percent off which means we pay 70 percent of the value

take 750 time 7 = 5250 and move the decimal one place to the left  since we multiplied by 7 and not .7

525

The cost of the couch is around 525 dollars

The actual sale price is

765 * .7 =535.50  so our estimate is a little low
