Question

Which of the following is equal to the rounded value of 72,625 to its nearest hundred?

Answer 1

The digit at the hundreds place is 6.
If the digit next to the place we need to round the number to is greater than or equal to 5, we round it up, or else we round it down.
Here, we need to round off the number to the nearest hundred. So, we compare the digit at the tens place with 5.
The digit at tens place is 2, which is less than 5.
So, we will round the number down.
Keep the digit at the hundreds place unchanged, and replace all the digits to the right of 6, up to the last place, with zero.
So, 72,625, when rounded off to the nearest hundred, is 72,600.
