You First Count 500 7 Times and if its a multiple choice question and chose the answer to the closeted answer you get!

You can estimate both numbers to the nearest tens but then the value would go off by more than a thousand so it is much more sensible to only estimate 503.

503-->500
7-->7
We'll keep 7 that way because, as I've said above, it would change the value too much if we rounded it to 10.
500 X 7 = 3500

That is close to the value of 503 X 7 which is equal to 3521.
You could also just round 3521 to 3520 but that would be rounding the result, not the expression itself.
