1 Learn About Using Estimation: Rounding to Nearest Ten or Hundred An estimate is a number that is close to the actual number you are looking for. To estimate, you can round numbers to the nearest ten or the nearest hundred. If a number is halfway between two tens or two hundreds, it is rounded to the greater ten or the greater hundred. Look at the chart, and then Number Nearest Ten Nearest Hundred read the reason why each number is rounded to the nearest ten or hundred shown. The nearest ten to 136 is , because 136 is closer to 140 than to 130. The nearest hundred to 136 is 100, because 136 is closer to 100 than to 200. The nearest ten to 155 is 160, because 155 is halfway between 150 and 160. The nearest hundred to 155 is 200, because 155 is closer to 200 than to 100. The nearest ten to 273 is 270, because 273 is closer to 270 than to 280. The nearest hundred to 273 is 300, because 273 is closer to 300 than to 200. Christian s hockey team is ordering new uniforms. The pants will cost $183 and the shirts will cost $105. Rounding each cost to the nearest hundred, about how much will the shirts and pants cost? $183 rounds to $200 and $105 rounds to $100 $200 + $100 = $300 The cost of the shirts and pants is about $300. Remember: To estimate, you can round numbers to the nearest ten or the nearest hundred. If a number is halfway between two tens or two hundreds, it is rounded to the greater ten or the greater hundred. 2 Using Estimation Book C CAS Hawker Brownlow Education
