Answer:

The all possible missing digits are 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 and the number can be 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800 2900.

Explanation:

Consider the provided number, 2,■00

The number rounded to the nearest thousand is 3,000.

The rule of rounding a number is:

If 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 follow the number, then no need to change the rounding digit.

If 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 follow the number, then rounding digit rounds up by one number.

Consider the number 2 is at thousands place and we want the number rounded to the nearest thousand is 3,000.

The number on the thousands place is increased by one number.

That means the number on hundreds place should be 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9.

Thus, the all possible missing digits are 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 and the number can be 2500, 2600, 2700, 2800 2900.
