Answer 2

3000

Explanation:

The given number is 2500.

We need to round off to the nearest thousand place.

Step 1: Identify the thousand place of the given number and underline it.

2 5 0 0

Here the thousand place is 2.

Step 2: Look for the next right digit of thousand place. Which is 5. If the number is 5 or greater than 5, we add 1 with thousand place.

So, we add 1 with 2, 2 + 1 = 3

Step 3: Replace thousand place with 3 and replace other digits by 0's

3000

Therefore, the answer is 3000
