Question

Rounding off 2784 to nearest hundred will give us ____.

• A. 2800
• B. 2700
• C. 2850
• D. 2750

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2800

To round off a number to the nearest hundred, we check the last two digits of the number.

If the last two digits form a number less than 50, we round down the number to the nearest lower multiple of 100. If the last two digits form 50 or more than 50, we round up the number to the nearest higher multiple of 100.

The multiples of 100 closer to 2784 are 2700 and 2800.
The last two digits of 2784 form the number 84, which is greater than 50.

Therefore, when 2784 is rounded off to the nearest hundred it will give 2800.
