• B. 88 dollars
• C. 900 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is C 900 dollars

Victoria's monthly income = 899 dollars

To round it to the nearest hundred, let us check the tens place.

The digit in the tens place is 9, which is more than 5. Hence, it should be rounded up to the nearest hundred.

= 900

Hence, the income rounded to the nearest hundred is 900 dollars.
