person(1) has been TYPES[0] every day for the last VALUES.length days. The table below shows the amount he TYPES[1] in plural_form(TYPES[2]) each day. The table below shows the amount she TYPES[1] in plural_form(TYPES[2]) each day.

Estimate how much he TYPES[1] in total by first rounding each amount to the nearest whole number and then summing all the rounded amounts.

Estimate how much she TYPES[1] in total by first rounding each amount to the nearest whole number and then summing all the rounded amounts.

Note that if you sum the exact amounts (localeToFixed(SUM, 2)) and then round, you'll get round(SUM). For fun, pay attention to how this number compares with your estimate.

Day
" " Amount
(in plural_form(TYPES[2]))
i+1 localeToFixed(pair[0], pair[1])

ANSWER plural_form(TYPES[2], ANSWER)

Round all the numbers to the nearest plural_form(TYPES[2], 1) and add them up.

Day Amount Rounded Running total
i+1 localeToFixed(pair[0], pair[1]) round(pair[0]) ACC += round(pair[0])

Therefore the estimate is ANSWER plural_form(TYPES[2], ANSWER).
