How to round to hundreds
Divide by 100, round to the nearest whole number, multiply by 100. Look at the tens digit: 5 or more rounds the hundreds digit up.
Common mistake
Confusing “hundreds” with “hundredths”. Hundreds change the third digit from the right (100s place); hundredths keep two digits after the decimal.
