Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The digit in the hundreds place is 4, which is closer to 4 than to 5, so we round down. Therefore, the answer is 45,800. To round 45,841 to the nearest hundred, we need to look at the digit in the tens place, which is 4. Since 4 is less than 5, we leave the hundreds place (8) alone and change everything to the right to zero, which gives us 45,800. Therefore, the best choice is B.
