Question

The box office manager said about 5,000 people attended the show. Write a number that could be the actual attendance if he correctly rounded to the nearest hundred

Answer 1

The possible answers would be numbers from 4,950 to 4,999.

When you round off to the nearest hundreds, you will look at the digit in the hundreds place value. To round up, the number in the tens place must be 5 and above.

It will round up the hundreds to the next value, which will be 10, you and then 1 to the thousands and you will get 5,000.

Example:

4,950 = 5,000
