Answer:

60,000, 80,000, 100,000, 90,000, 60,000

Explanation:

First you have to determine which position is the "ten thousands" position. Then look at the digit to its right: if it's 5 or more you round up, 4 or less you round down.

So let's start with the first number. The places are easier to see if you include the comma:

57,342

Do you know the places? They're like this:

ten thousands thousands , hundreds tens ones

So '5' is in the ten thousands place.

Now look to its right and you see '7'.

That's ≥ 5, so you round up.

What do you round up? The '5' in the ten thousands place.

So the '5' rounds up to a '6', and everything behind it goes to zero:

60,000

Others:

76,564 7 in ten thousands place, 6 to its right, so round up: 80,000

95,634 The 5 says you round up the 9: 100,000 Notice how there's essentially a '10' in the ten thousands place, so the number becomes one hundred thousand.

85,756 5 says round up 8: 90,000

63,256 3 says you round down, which means that the 6 stays a 6: 60,000
