To the nearest whole number meaning without fractions, or in this case decimals. In the tenths place we have the # 5. When rounding, if the number to the right of your rounding place( to the nearest tenth, hundredth, whole #, ect.) , is higher than 4 then you increase the rounding place # by 1. If it is lower than the 4 then the rounding place # stays the same. So your answer is 850.

sorry for the horrible explanation.

850 is the nearest whole number, it the decimal point is .5 or above you round up, if the decimal point is below .5, you round down
