Question

Rounding off 40,175 to its nearest hundred, we get

• A. 41,000
• B. 40,000
• C. 40,100
• D. 40,200

Answer 1

The correct option is D 40,200

To round off a number to its nearest hundreds place, we look at the digit in its tens place.


In 40,175, the digit in tens place is 7.

7 > 5, so, upon rounding off, the digit at the hundred's place will be 1 + 1 = 2.


∴ 40,175 upon rounding off to nearest hundreds becomes 40,200.
