Upper and Lower Bounds for Subtraction
You can find an upper bound and a lower bound for subtraction problems, too.
Example: 8.3 - 4.6 < 9 - 4 = 5 and 8.3 - 4.6 > 8 - 5 = 3
4 4.6 5 8 8.3 9
Upper bound
8.3round up
9- 4.6 round down
- 45
Lower bound
8.3round down
8- 4.6 round up
- 53
1. Find a lower bound and an upper bound for the difference.
a) 8 - 4 < 8.76 - 3.95 < 9 - 3
4 < 8.76 - 3.95 < 6
b) < 9.4 - 3.2 <
< 9.4 - 3.2 <
c) < 8.57 - 2.19 <
< 8.57 - 2.19 <
d) < 6.38 - 0.57 <
< 6.38 - 0.57 <
2. Calculate the differences from Question 1.
a) b) c) d)
Are the actual differences between your upper and lower bounds? If not, find your mistake.
3. Hanna had $755.50 and spent $326.87.
a) Should she use an upper bound or a lower bound to estimate how much money she has left? Why?
b) Estimate how much money Hanna has left.
4. Glen is traveling from New York City to Philadelphia, then to Pittsburgh, then back to New York City. He estimates the amount of gas he needs, as shown on the map.
a) Use an upper or lower bound to estimate how much gas he should have for the trip.
b) Did you use an upper bound or a lower bound? Why?
New York
2.4 gallons
Philadelphia7.2 gallons
Pittsburgh 8.8 gallons

Use an Easier Expression to Solve Problems (1)
1. Jane bought 3 T-shirts for $12 each and 3 sweaters for $28 each. Calculate how much money she spent, two ways. Make sure you get the same answer both ways.
3 × $12 + 3 × $28 3 × ($12 + $28)
= + = 3 ×
= =
2. Bilal bought 12 cans of juice for 87¢ each. He then sold them for 90¢ each.
a) Calculate Bilal’s profit.
selling price = 12 × 90¢
- buying price = 12 × 87¢
=
b) Calculate Bilal’s profit another way. Make sure you get the same answer both ways. Bilal’s profit = (Bilal’s profit from 1 can) × 12
= × 12
=
c) Which solution above matches the expression below? Write “part a)” or “part b)” beside the matching expression.
i) 12 × 90¢ - 12 × 87¢
ii) 12 × (90¢ - 87¢)
3. Do the problem mentally. Hint: Use the easier expression.
a) Karen buys CDs for $8 each and sells them for $13 each. How much profit would she make on 84 CDs?
b) Marco buys pens for $3 each and sells them for $3.50 each. How much profit would he make on 46 pens?
c) Mary buys bikes for $300 each and sells them for $320 each. How much profit would she make on 60 bikes?
d) Don gets $5 for each hour of cutting grass. If he cuts grass for 1 hour on Monday, 3 hours on Wednesday, and 7 hours on Saturday, how much money does he earn altogether?
4. Jennifer makes and sells pies for $8 each. She made 16 beef pies, 20 chicken pies, and 14 turkey pies. She paid $160 for the ingredients. If she worked 20 hours to make the pies, what was her profit per hour?

REMINDER: You can write a percent as a decimal.
Example: 8% = 0.08, so 8% of 35 is 0.08 × 35.
5. Write a multiplication expression for 9 percent of the number.
a) 9% of 24 b) 9% of 9 c) 9% of 300 d) 9% of n
6. Some states have a 5% sales tax. Write an expression for the tax on each item, and for the total price including taxes.
Item Price ($) Tax ($) Price + Tax ($)
a) DVD $23 0.05 × 23 23 + 0.05 × 23
b) A pack of batteries $6
c) T-shirt $10
d) Car $n
REMINDER: You can use the distributive property to factor expressions.
Example: 7 + 0.05 × 7 = 1 × 7 + 0.05 × 7
= (1 + 0.05) × 7
= 1.05 × 7
7. Some states have a 6% sales tax.
a) Complete the table.
Item Price ($) Tax ($) Price + Tax ($) Total Price ($) (Factored)
i) DVD $23 0.06 × 23 23 + 0.06 × 23 1.06 × 23
ii) A pack of batteries $6
iii) T-shirt $10
iv) Car $n
b) The cost of a car before sales tax is $13,000. What is the total price of the car, including the sales tax?
