Answer 2

2,500

Explanation:

Place value , rounding

the place values of the number 2,472 is :

2 ---- thousands

4---- hundred

7--- tens

2--- units

when rounding off to the nearest hundreds we look at the 4 ( hundred ) and the value after it which is the 7 ( ten)

if the number in the (tens) position is greater than 5 , the number would be rounded up . else if it is lower than 5 it would be rounded down.

in this case the number in the tens position is 7 hence it is rounded up hence 2,472 becomes 2,500

hence the number 2,472 to the nearest hundred is: 2,500
