Only one number, **34,856**, is provided. Please provide the second number to complete the problem.
Solution
It appears that only one number, **34,856**, has been provided. However, the problem mentions **two numbers** that need to be summed. To accurately address parts **a** and **b** of the problem, could you please provide the second number?
Once both numbers are available, I'd be happy to help you approximate their sum by rounding and to find the exact sum with the appropriate rounding.

To start, when rounding 34,856 to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens digit (which is 5). Since it is 5 or greater, we round up, making it 34,900. Now, if we calculated the approximate sum, it would remain precisely 34,900 since only one number was provided. For the exact sum, we note that we only have one number, which means it’s already complete. However, if we hypothetically take two identical numbers as a reference and find the exact sum (34,856 + 34,856), we get 69,712. Rounding this to the nearest hundred, we look at the tens digit (1), so we round down to 69,700!
