B) $53,300
C) $53,250
D) $53,000

Answer 1

To round off $53,298 to the nearest 100, we look at the tens digit (which is 9) and round up, resulting in $53,300 as the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking to round off the number $53,298 to the nearest 100. To do this, we will look at the tens digit, which is 9. Since 9 is greater than 5, we round up. Therefore, the hundreds digit increases by one, making the number become $53,300, and all the following digits become zero.

The correct answer is B) $53,300.

Now let's take an example: If you have $53,285 and need to round to the nearest hundred, the tens digit is 8, which is greater than 5. So you'd round up, making it $53,300. The correct option is B.
