Answer:

The number is 4950

Explanation:

Let the number to be identified be represented as x

Given, when rounded to the nearest 100 I am the smallest whole number that becomes 5,000

Therefore, the number is above 4000 and it is a whole number.

When rounded to the nearest 100, I am the smallest whole number that becomes 5,000

The smallest whole number must be 4950 when ronded to 100,it becomes 5000.

The number is 4950
