                                    more gas cars than electric cars.

  1. 5,000
  2. 50,000
  3. 5,100
  4. 5,010

hintHint:

ROUNDING

One very simple form of estimation is rounding. Rounding is often the key skill you need to quickly estimate a number. This is where you make a long number simpler by ‘rounding’, or expressing in terms of the nearest unit, ten, hundred, tenth, or a certain number of decimal places.

For example, 1,654 to the nearest thousand is 2,000. To the nearest 100 it is 1,700. To the nearest ten it is 1,650.

The correct answer is: 50,000


    Total electric cars = 45,960
    Total gas cars = 96,113
    Difference = 96113 – 45960 = 50,153 almost equal to50,000.(Rounding off to its nearest thousands place )
    Thus, there are about 50,000 more gas cars than electric cars.
