Answer:

24,600

Explanation:

24,579 rounded to 3 significant figures would be 24,600 as we round the 5 to a 6 due to the digit 7 behind it. Significant figures are any non-zero digits or trapped zeros. They do not include leading or trailing zeros. When going between decimal and scientific notation, maintain the same number of significant figures.

Hope this Helps!
