Answer 1

The given number is 28,750.

To round the number to the thousands place, check the digit in the hundreds place, which is 7.

Since this digit is greater than 5, add one to the thousands digit and make all other digits to the right zero.

This gives the number 29,000.

Hence, the salary rounded to the nearest thousands is $29,000.

The fourth option is correct.
