Answer: 7 significant digits

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant digits.: The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant digits.

All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant digits.

All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant digits.

All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant digits

Thus 204.0920 has 7 significant digits.
