The video tutorial teaches how to use estimation to determine if you have enough money for purchases. Tiffany, with $100, needs to buy winter clothes and considers adding a scarf to her list. She uses rounding to the nearest ten to estimate costs and mentally calculates the total. Initially, her estimated total is $70, leaving room for the scarf, which she estimates at $20. With a total of $90, she confirms she can afford everything. The lesson demonstrates solving word problems using estimation of sums.
