31. Savings Suppose you saved \( \$ 443 \) in one year. a. Estimate the average amount you saved each week. b. Reasoning Explain why you chose the method you used. 32. There are three small piñatas and two large piñatas at a festival. Each small piñata contains 85 prizes. Each large piñat contains 178 prizes. Estimate the total number of prizes.

31. a. To estimate the average amount saved each week, we can divide the total amount saved in one year by the number of weeks in a year. Given: Total amount saved in one year = $443 Number of weeks in a year = 52 Average amount saved each week = Total amount saved in one year / Number of weeks in a year b. I chose to divide the total amount saved in one year by the number of weeks in a year to find the average amount saved each week because it provides a more accurate representation of the weekly savings. 32. To estimate the total number of prizes, we can calculate the total number of prizes in the small piñatas and the large piñatas separately and then add them together. Given: Number of small piñatas = 3 Number of large piñatas = 2 Prizes in each small piñata = 85 Prizes in each large piñata = 178 Total number of prizes in small piñatas = Number of small piñatas * Prizes in each small piñata Total number of prizes in large piñatas = Number of large piñatas * Prizes in each large piñata Total number of prizes = Total number of prizes in small piñatas + Total number of prizes in large piñatas Let's calculate the total number of prizes. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(3\times 85+2\times 178\) - step1: Multiply the numbers: \(255+2\times 178\) - step2: Multiply the numbers: \(255+356\) - step3: Add the numbers: \(611\) The total number of prizes is 611.
