Answer:

96,000

Step-by-step explanation:

To round to the nearest thousand, we need to look at the digit in the hundreds place, which is 6. Since 6 > 5, we know that we need to round up (because 6 is closer to 10 than it is to 0). Currently, the number is 95 thousand so when rounding up, the answer will be 96,000.
