Question
Estimate the difference of 8351 – 2774 to the nearest hundred.
- 5377
- 5600
- 5370
- 5450
Hint:
In the question, first we will find the difference between 8351 and 2774 then we will round off the difference to the nearest hundred. To round off the hundreds place we will look at the tens digit if the number is 0,1,2,3 or 4 the number at the hundreds place will round down, the number will not change. But if the tens digit is 5,6,7,8 or 9 hundreds place will round up to the next number. Also in both the case the digits at the tens and ones place will become 0.
The correct answer is: 5600
The difference between 8351 and 2774 = 8351-2774 = 5577
Rounding off the number 5577 to nearest hundred = 5600.
