Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

E. 1,700 is your answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you do is you add 668 + 575 + 453 together.

668 + 575 + 453 = 1,696.

The hundreds place is the 9. Since the 9 is bigger than 4 it gets rounded up. That means the 6 in front of the 9 becomes a 7 and 9 and 6 become a zero.
