To round a number to the nearest hundred, we count two places to the left of the decimal point, or from the last digit if the number is a whole number.

If the second digit from the last digit is upto 5, we add 1 to the preceding digit and we complete the last two numbers with zeros.

Therefore, any number from 11,950 to 12,049, will result to 12,000 when rounded to the nearest hundred.

Answer: So, the possible numbers that when rounded to the nearest hundred are 12000 are from 11500 to 12049.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of horse trailer = 4

Cost of 4 horse trailer = $12000

As we know about the "Estimation", if there is a number greater or equal to 5 in tens place then it will be rounded off to the nearest next greatest integer.

So, if this number is $11950 to 12049.

So, the possible numbers that when rounded to the nearest hundred are 12000 are from 11500 to 12049.
