ROUNDING AND ADJUSTING
Question (i)
2009 + 608 – 3098 = ?
Step 1: Rounding to nearest hundred (for estimation)
- 2009 → 2000
- 608 → 600
- 3098 → 3100
Estimated answer:
2000 + 600 – 3100 = (2600 – 3100) = -500
So, the answer should be a little less than zero, around -500.
Step 2: Exact Calculation
Now, do the exact sum step-by-step.
- Add the first two numbers:
2009 + 608 = 2617 - Subtract 3098 from the result:
2617 – 3098 = -481
Final exact answer = -481
Step 3: Check
Estimate was -500, actual is -481 → Estimation is close, so calculation is correct.
Question (ii)
4491 + 207 – 2003 = ?
Step 1: Rounding to nearest hundred
- 4491 → 4500
- 207 → 200
- 2003 → 2000
Estimated answer:
4500 + 200 – 2000 = 4700 – 2000 = 2700
Estimated answer ≈ 2700
Step 2: Exact Calculation
- Add the first two numbers:
4491 + 207 = 4698 - Subtract 2003:
4698 – 2003 = 2695
Final exact answer = 2695
Step 3: Check
Estimated answer was 2700, actual is 2695 → Estimation is very close, so it’s correct.
Question (i)
5297 + 706 – 1995 = ?
Step 1: Rounding to nearest hundred (for estimation)
- 5297 → 5300
- 706 → 700
- 1995 → 2000
Estimated answer:
5300 + 700 – 2000 = 6000 – 2000 = 4000
✅ Estimated answer = 4000
Step 2: Exact Calculation
Now, calculate exactly step by step.
- Add the first two numbers:
5297 + 706 = 6003 - Subtract 1995:
6003 – 1995 = 4008
Final exact answer = 4008
Step 3: Check
Estimated = 4000, Actual = 4008 → Estimation is very close, so the work is correct.
Question (ii)
2005 + 603 – 999 = ?
Step 1: Rounding to nearest hundred
- 2005 → 2000
- 603 → 600
- 999 → 1000
Estimated answer:
2000 + 600 – 1000 = 2600 – 1000 = 1600
✅ Estimated answer = 1600
Step 2: Exact Calculation
- Add the first two numbers:
2005 + 603 = 2608 - Subtract 999:
2608 – 999 = 1609
Final exact answer = 1609
Step 3: Check
Estimated = 1600, Actual = 1609 → Estimation is very close, so it’s correct.
During sports practice, the boys scored 32 points in the first game and 27 points in the second game. In the third game, they lost 15 points due to penalties. Create a number statement to find out the total points the team has scored?
Given:
- Points in 1st game = 32
- Points in 2nd game = 27
- Points lost in 3rd game = 15
Step 1: Write the number statement
To find the total points scored after penalties:
32 + 27 – 15
Step 2: Solve
= 32 + 27 = 59
59 – 15 = 44
Final Answer:
Number statement: 32 + 27 – 15 = 44
Total points scored: 44 points
Question 1
Q. A grocery store collected Rs. 45,670 on Friday, Rs. 52,985 on Saturday, and Rs. 47,860 on Sunday.
Out of the total weekend sales, Rs. 18,500 was spent on transport and bills.
How much money was left after expenses?
Data:
- Friday sales = Rs. 45,670
- Saturday sales = Rs. 52,985
- Sunday sales = Rs. 47,860
- Expenses (transport and bills) = Rs. 18,500
Method:
- Find the total weekend sales.
= 45,670 + 52,985 + 47,860
= 146,515 - Subtract the expenses.
= 146,515 – 18,500
= 128,015
Answer Statement:
The grocery store had Rs. 128,015 left after paying transport and bills.
Question 2
Q. Ali and Hamza started saving for a new bicycle that costs Rs. 14,750.
Ali saved Rs. 6,425 and Hamza saved Rs. 7,850.
If their father contributed Rs. 1,000 more, do they now have enough money to buy the bicycle?
Data:
- Cost of bicycle = Rs. 14,750
- Ali’s savings = Rs. 6,425
- Hamza’s savings = Rs. 7,850
- Father’s contribution = Rs. 1,000
Method:
- Find the total amount saved by Ali and Hamza.
= 6,425 + 7,850 = 14,275 - Add father’s contribution.
= 14,275 + 1,000 = 15,275 - Compare with the cost of the bicycle.
Cost = 14,750
Saved amount = 15,275 - Since 15,275 > 14,750 → they have enough money.
Answer Statement:
Yes, they now have enough money to buy the bicycle and will still have Rs. 525 left.
