Answer:

any of 158, 168, 178, 188, 198

Explanation:

If the remainder is 8 when divided by 10, the least-significant digit must be 8. (That will guarantee that division by 5 will give a remainder of 3.)

In order for a number with one hundred to round to 200 when rounded to the nearest 100, the tens digit must be 5 or larger. There are 5 numbers that meet these criteria:

158, 168, 178, 188, 198
