To Find :-
Which of the following is the best estimate of how much the market earned by selling strawberries?
$120
$90

Calculation :-
Here, We will simply multiply the number of pints sold today by cost of strawberry per pint, and then we will round it off to it's nearest 'tens' places.
⇒ Amount earned by selling 32 pints = number of pints × costof strawberry per pint
Substituting the values given, We get,
⇒ Amount earned by selling 32 pints = 32 × $3
⇒ Amount earned by selling 32 pints = $96
Now, when we round it off to it's nearest 'tens' places, We get,
⇒ Round off $96 = $90
Since, We can see that, 2nd option from the list of option given, is $90. Therefore $90 is the answer.
