    Answer: The total cost would be $ 131.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since we have given that

    Amount for bought clothes = $ 66.17

    Amount for books = $ 44.98

    Amount for meal = $ 20.15

    First we add all the amount to get the total cost.

    Total cost is given by

    $ 66.17 + $ 44.98 + $ 20.15 = $ 131.30 So, the good estimate of $ 131.30 is

    $ 130.

    Hence, the total cost would be $ 131.

    Either 130 or 131 would be acceptable.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    When we estimate, we do not use exact values.

    66.17 is close to 66

    44.98 is close to 45

    20.15 is close to 20

    Add the estimates together: 66 + 45 + 20 = 131

    We could also estimate 66.17 to 65 which would give us an estimate of 130
