Here we will tell you what 92 is rounded to the nearest hundred and also show you what rules we used to get to the answer. First, 92 rounded to the nearest hundred is:
100
Remember, we did not necessarily round up or down, but to the hundred that is nearest to 92.
When rounding to the nearest hundred, like we did with 92 above, we use the following rules:
A) We round the number up to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 50 or above.
B) We round the number down to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 49 or below.
C) If the last two digits are 00, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the hundred.
