What is 250 rounded to the nearest hundred?

Answer

250 rounded to the nearest hundred is
300

Nearest hundred — the tens digit decides: 5⁠–⁠9 round up, 0⁠–⁠4 keep; digits to the right become 0.

Exactly halfway between 200 and 300 — equally close to both. The halfway rule rounds away from zero, as in school and Excel ROUND: 300. Round half to even (banker's rounding) gives 200.
