Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is 123,500!

Explanation:

TO ROUND TO THE NEAREST HUNDRED we need to look at the TENS column...

IN THIS CASE WE LOOK AT '5'...

If its bigger than 4 INCREASE THE DIGIT IN THE HUNDREDS PLACE BY ONE

If its smaller than 5 DECREASE THE DIGIT IN THE HUNDREDS PLACE BY ONE!

So as 5 is a digit that makes us ROUND UP...we change 4 to a 5 to have 123,500 as our answer!

HOPE THIS HELPS!
