Let's solve the rounding problem step by step. The task is to
round each number to the nearest hundred.
🔍 Rule for Rounding to the Nearest 100:
- Look at the
tens digit (the second digit from the right).
- If the tens digit is
5 or more, round
UP.
- If the tens digit is
less than 5, round
DOWN.

Now, let’s go through each number:
