To find how close together two numbers are, use the formula
|a-b|, where
a is one number and
b is the other number.


|9600 -9568| = 32


| 9600 - 8606 | = 994


| 9600 - 9656 | = 56


| 9600 - 9068 | = 532

Using 9568 in our formula gives us the smallest amount, meaning that it is the closest number to 9600. Thus, our answer is (A) 9568.
