STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are asked to estimate the sum of $43.495$, $25.112$, and $31.627$ by rounding each number to the nearest hundredth.
. Rounding to the nearest hundredth means that we are looking at the digit in the hundredths place and deciding whether to round up or down based on the digit in the thousandths place.

STEP 2

First, we need to round each number to the nearest hundredth.$$43.495 \approx43.50$$$$25.112 \approx25.11$$$$31.627 \approx31.63$$

Now that we have the rounded numbers, we can add them together to get the estimated sum.
$$43.50 +25.11 +31.63 =100.24$$The estimated sum of $43.495$, $25.112$, and $31.627$ when rounded to the nearest hundredth is $100.24$.
