28. A company has purchased 41 new cars for the sales department for $934,209. Assuming that each car cost the same, estimate the cost of each car.
The principle of estimation says to round the numbers so that there is one nonzero digit in each number, and then to perform the calculation with the

A. Round 41 to 100.
B. Round 41 to 50.
C. Round 41 to 40.
D. Do not round the value of 41.
Using the principle of estimation, how should 934,209 be rounded?
A. Round 934,209 to 1,000,000.
B. Round 934,209 to 934,000.
C. Round 934,209 to 935,000.
D. Round 934,209 to 900,000.
What is the next step in estimating the price per car?
A. Divide 900,000 by 40.
B. Divide 900,000 by 41.
C. Multiply 900,000 by 40.
D. Divide 934,209 by 40.
