Questions: Problem Solving with 2-Digit Multiplication A fruit stand has 200 apples. They order 19 bags with 12 apple each. They sell 42 bags that have 8 apples each. The owner says they now have about 120 apples. Is the owner's estimate reasonable? The owner's answer is reasonable. They ordered about 320 apples and sold about 240 so they should have about 80 fewer apples than they started with. The owner's estimate is not reasonable. They ordered about 320 apples and sold about 240 so they should have about 80 more apples than they started with. The owner's estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 240 apples and sold about 320 so they should have about 80 fewer apples than they started with. The owner's estimate is not reasonable. They ordered about 240 apples and sold about 240 so they should have about the same number of apples as they started with.

Problem Solving with 2-Digit Multiplication

A fruit stand has 200 apples. They order 19 bags with 12 apple each. They sell 42 bags that have 8 apples each. The owner says they now have about 120 apples.

Is the owner's estimate reasonable?
The owner's answer is reasonable. They ordered about 320 apples and sold about 240 so they should have about 80 fewer apples than they started with.
The owner's estimate is not reasonable. They ordered about 320 apples and sold about 240 so they should have about 80 more apples than they started with.
The owner's estimate is reasonable. They ordered about 240 apples and sold about 320 so they should have about 80 fewer apples than they started with.
The owner's estimate is not reasonable. They ordered about 240 apples and sold about 240 so they should have about the same number of apples as they started with.

Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate Total Apples Ordered

The total number of apples ordered can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Total Apples Ordered} = \text{Bags Ordered} \times \text{Apples per Bag Ordered} = 19 \times 12 = 228 \]

Step 2: Calculate Total Apples Sold

The total number of apples sold is given by: \[ \text{Total Apples Sold} = \text{Bags Sold} \times \text{Apples per Bag Sold} = 42 \times 8 = 336 \]

Step 3: Calculate Final Number of Apples

The final number of apples can be determined using the formula: \[ \text{Final Apples} = \text{Initial Apples} + \text{Total Apples Ordered} - \text{Total Apples Sold} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Final Apples} = 200 + 228 - 336 = 92 \]

Step 4: Compare with Owner's Estimate

The owner's estimate is 120 apples. We compare this with the calculated final number of apples: \[ \text{Owner's Estimate} = 120 \] Since \(92 \neq 120\), the owner's estimate is not reasonable.
