To round to the nearest hundred, examine the digit in the tens place. SInce it is greater than 5, the hundreds digit is rounded up. Since the hundreds place contains 9 it is rounded to 10, meaning a 0 is written in the hundreds place and 1 is added to the digit in the thousands place. Digits to the right of the hundreds place are zeroed out.
