To estimate the sum of the numbers by rounding to the nearest hundred, you can round each number like this: 524 rounds to 500, 999 rounds to 1000, 875 rounds to 900, 699 rounds to 700, and 350 rounds to 400. Now adding these rounded numbers together gives you: 500 + 1000 + 900 + 700 + 400 = 3500. To make estimation even easier, check whether the numbers are closer to the lower or upper hundred! When you round up 524, that's because it's 24 away from 500 but only 76 from 600. Always keep in mind the distance to the next hundred when rounding, and happy calculating!
