a number is300 when rounded off to nearest hundred. what is the greatest possible value of the number

349

To find the greatest possible value of the number when rounded off to the nearest hundred, we need to look at the range of numbers that round to 300 when rounded to the nearest hundred.

When we round a number to the nearest hundred, we look at the digit in the tens place. If this digit is 5 or greater, we round up to the next hundred. If the digit is 4 or less, we round down to the previous hundred.

In this case, if a number is rounded to 300, it means the number lies between 250 and 349.

So, the greatest possible value of the number would be 349, as any number greater than that would round up to 400, not 300.
