The Donation Given To The Flood Victim Amounted Php 37000. 00. If This Amount Was Rounded To The Nearest 1000, What Could Have Been The Lowest Actual
the donation given to the flood victim amounted Php 37000. 00. if this amount was rounded to the nearest 1000, what could have been the lowest actual amount?
Numbers that will become 37000 if rounded off to the nearest thousands:
36500, 36501, 36502, 36503, 36504, 36505, 36506,..., 36595, 36596, 36597, 36598, 36599
The lowest actual amount is 36500.
Since 5 is at the right of the rounding digit, it is rounded up so 36500 becomes 37000.
36499 is not the lowest actual amount because the number at the right side of the rounding digit is 4. If it is 4 and below, it is rounded down while if it is 5 to 9, it is rounded up. Therefore 36499 becomes 36000.
