    a) 675 000

    b) 685 000

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The population of a town is 680 000 correct to the nearest 10 000.

    a) To find it lower bound, we level of accuracy by 2 and then subtract from 680 000

    The lower bound is:

    680 000-5000=675,000

    Therefore the least possible population of the town is 675 000

    b) We repeat the same process to find the upper bound

    680 000+5000=685,000
