Question

This is the question: ~~Craig Allen is considering purchasing a new home. He estimates the following monthly housing expenses: $972.45 for his mortgage payment, $27.75 for his insurance premium, $95.25 for real estate taxes, $98.64 for electricity, $44.40 for telephone service, and $11.20 for water. What is his total monthly housing cost to the nearest cent?

But i already solved that and got the answer above and not sure how to round. By the way this is buisness math. thanks.

Answer 1

All the figures are to the nearest cent, so your answer is already rounded to the nearest cent. Perhaps the question should have read "to the nearest dollar"? In which case, the answer is $1,250.
