Answer:

Rounding to nearest Hundred means movement of last two digits in a number, while Rounding to nearest tens means movement of only last digit.

Rounding to hundred gives a number having last two digit equal to Zero, while rounding to tens gives a number having last digit equal to 0.

For example

Rounding of 243 to nearest Hundred gives 200, while Rounding to nearest ten gives 240.

⇒If number is in hundreds or thousands or in ten Thousands that is bigger number then Rounding to Nearest hundred is better than Rounding to nearest ten.

Two mechanics worked on a car. The first mechanic worked for 5
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

$50 and $115

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that,

the sum of the two rates = $165 per hour

Let x and (165 - x) represent the $/hour of the 15hr and 5hr mechanics respectively.

Then combining their charges together to get:

(x*15)hour+(165-x)*5 hour=1325

Solving for x to get:

15x-5x+825=1325

10x=500

x=50

So the rate charged per hour by one mechanic is $50 and for the other mechanic = (165-50)= $115.
