23499 is the smallest possible number that gives 23500

Answer 2

Solution :-

There are five possible numbers that will give 23500 when they are rounded off to the nearest ten. These are as follows.

1) 23495 ⇒ 23500

2) 23496 ⇒ 23500

3) 23497 ⇒ 23500

4) 23498 ⇒ 23500

5) 23499 ⇒ 23500

Among the above numbers the smallest number is 23495 that gives 23500 when rounded off to the nearest ten because if we round off 23494 to the nearest ten, it will become 23490.
