Katrina · Answer 1

2600 because it needs to be rounded to the nearest hundred and if it was 2650 that would be rounded to 2700

Lillianna Dominguez · Answer 2

The reporter probably used the number 2600 because when you round 2605 to the nearest hundred u look at the 6 then underline the 0 and the zero means round down because it's less than 5 so the answer is 2600 people
