Question

Square all the integers from 1 to 10 inclusive. Then, round each number to the nearest hundred. Finally, sum the numbers. What do you get?

Answer 1

300

Explanation:

First let's square all the integers from 1 to 10 inclusive. We get:

1^2 = 1

2^2 = 4

3^2 = 9

4^2 = 16

5^2 = 25

6^2 = 36

7^2 = 49

8^2 = 64

9^2 = 81

10^2 = 100.

Rounding to the nearest hundred, we get that 1, 4, 9, 16, 36, and 49 all round to 0 and 64, 81, and 100 round to 100.

Therefore, we obtain

0+0+0+0+0+0+0+100+100+100,

or 300.
