Work Step by Step

Hourly wage: Dollar 11.63 Hours worked = 16.5 Total earning = 11.63 $\times$ 16.5 Let's find Estimate: 11.63 (rounds to) 10 16.5 (rounds to) 20 Estimate: 10 \times 20 = 200 Dollars Let's Find Exact: 11.63 $\times$ 16.5 = $\frac{1163}{100}\times\frac{165}{10}$ = $\frac{1163}{100}\times\frac{33}{2}$ = $\frac{1163\times33}{100\times2}$ = 191.895 (By solving we get) Now, we need to round to nearest cent. 191.89 keep it and look for the thousandths place.
