I am thinking of a number that has a four in the hundreds place and a two and the one's place. When you round it to the nearest hundred it is 500, What is my number?

Answer:

either 452, 462, 472, 482, 492

Explanation:

4 in the hundreds place -- 4??

two in the ones place -- 4?2

round to nearest hundred means tens place ≥ 5

either 452, 462, 472, 482, 492

there is not enough information to narrow it down to one number
