Answer 1

D. 2,742 is your answer

2742 rounds up to 3000, because when you round to the thousands, look at the hundreds place value. It is a 7, which is greater than 5, so you round up

2742 rounds to 2700, because when you round to the hundreds, look at the tens value. It is a 4, which is less than 5, so you round down.
