Given:
A chewing gum company surveys 25,526 customers about their favourite chewing gum flavours.
To find:
The number of customers to the nearest thousand.
Step-by-step explanation:
The number is 25,526.
The number next to the thousand's place number is 5 which is greater than or equal to 5.
So, add 1 to the previous number and replace all other numbers after the thousand's place with zero's.
Therefore, the number to the nearest thousand is 26,000.
Final answer:
The number to the nearest thousand is 26,000.
