37493 < x < 37503
it is even....so choices so far are : 37494, 37496, 37498, 37,500, 37,502
rounded to the nearest ten is less then the number....
37494 rounded to the nearest ten = 37490.....it is less then the mystery number
and 37502 rounded to the nearest tens = 37500...it is less then the mystery number
ur other choices, when rounded to the nearest ten are greater then or equal to the mystery number...so they dont work
so now we have 2 choices....37494 and 37502
rounded to the nearest thousand is greater then the mystery number....
37494 rounded to the nearest thousand = 37000...that less then...so this wont work
37502 rounded to the nearest thousand = 38000....thats greater then the mystery number....BINGO....ur answer is : 37502 <==
