• B. 35,000
• C. 34,600
• D. 36,000

Answer 1

The correct option is C 34,600

To estimate the digit in hundreds place, we look for digits in the tens place.


In 34,576, the digit in the hundreds place is 5.

Also, the digit in tens place is 7.

As 7 is between 5 and 9, we round up the digit at the hundreds place as
5 + 1 = 6.


∴ 34,576 when rounded off to the nearest hundreds becomes 34,600.
