Total pieces of fruit sold=\(472+ 783+ 341+ 693= 2289\)

Estimation to check =\(500+ 800+ 300+ 700= 2300\)

Hence the solution is correct.

One simple form of estimation is rounding. Rounding is the key skill that helps to estimate a number quickly. In this, the long numbers are rounded off to the nearest unit, ten, hundred, tenth or a certain number of decimal places.
