Given:

The number is 1550.

Required:

Explain how to round 1,550 to the nearest hundred.

Explanation:

The given number is 1550.

When rounding off a number to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in a number are 50 or above then the hundred digits will be more than 1 and the digit after hundred places will be 00.

If the last two digits in a number are below 50 the hundred digits will remain the same and the digit after hundred places will be 00.

Now in the given number 1550, the hundred digits are 5 and the last two digits are 50 so a hundred digits will be more than 1.

The rounding of the number 1550 is 1600.

Final Answer:

Round off 1550 is 1600.
