You can put this solution on YOUR website!
it's not clear to what you need to round it: to the nearest tents or to the nearest hundreds
453%2B158%2B204%2B555%2B361
453 you can round it to 450 (to the nearest tents) or 500 ( to the nearest hundreds)
158 you can round it to 150 (to the nearest tents) or 200 ( to the nearest hundreds)
204 you can round it to 200 (to the nearest tents) or 200 ( to the nearest hundreds)
555 you can round it to 560 (to the nearest tents) or 600 ( to the nearest hundreds)
361 you can round it to 360 (to the nearest tents) or 400 ( to the nearest hundreds)
if you need to round it to to the nearest tents, than you will have
450%2B160%2B200%2B560%2B360=1730
but, if you need to round it to to the nearest hundreds
, than you will have
500%2B200%2B200%2B600%2B400=1900
