Jake won 174,295 points playing his new video game.

Rounded to the nearest thousand, about how many points did Jake win?

A. 175,000

B. 174,300

C. 174,000

D. 173,000

Answer 1

we then fill in all the numbers after it with zero's so the number, after it is rounded, is 174,000
So your answer is c
