You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A number that rounded to the nearest ten is 380
must be 375 or higher, and 384 or lower.
The options are 375, 376, 377, 378, 379, 380, 381, 382, 383, or 384.
Any of them, when rounded to the nearest hundred would be 400. That piece of information is not needed, and is not helpful.
