The answer you are looking for is "no", because the nearest ten thousand would be 760,000.

When rounding, you look at the number following or behind the value you're going to be rounding. In this case, that number would be 3. To round up, the number must be a 5 or higher, while rounding down is a 4 or lower. Since 3 is less than 4, you would round down to the nearest ten thousand, that being 760,000. Thus making the answer "no".

I hope this helps!
