`\text {Hi! Let's Solve this Problem!}`

`\text {Since we are rounding to the nearest hundred we are going to look at the 1}`

`\text {We underline the 1 in the hundreds place}`

`\text {2} \underline {1} \text {42}`

`\text {After we underline the 1 we point an arrow at 4}`

`\text {Remember that the number 5 and above we'll round up.}`

`\text {Numbers 4 and below you round down.}`

`\text {If we were to round up then our answer would of been 2,200}`
