So the question is asking us to round 8188 to the nearest hundred.

If we take place value unto account, we have to look at the number in the hundreds column - in this case it says one hundred

Next we look to the column on the right of the 1 hundred - it is eighty

Because 8 > 5, we round up

Thus, the number we originally looked at should be increased by 1 and any digits to the right of it are turned into 0

As a result, the answer is 8200

hope it helped :)
