Solution
The correct option is A 3200
To round off a number to the nearest 100, find the multiples of 100 just before and after the number.
Next, we check the last two digits of the number. If the last two digits are less than 50, we round down the number to the lower value.
The multiples of 100 just before and after 3247 are 3200 and 3300.
Since 47 < 50, 3247 is rounded off to 3200.
We can see on the number line above that 3247 is closer to 3200 than 3300.
