Each motorized scooter at the scooter store costs $75. About how much would 7 motorized scooter cost? Is an estimate or an exact answer needed?
It says about so we can estimate.
75 rounds to 80
80 x 7 = $560
Need about $560

You can multiply the addends of a number and then add the products
Distributive Property
Will the estimate be greater or less than the actual product?
6 x 5,215
Less than because you have to round 5,215 down to 5,000. The actual product will be greater than the estimate which is 30,000.
