The digit in thousands is 9 and the next digit to it on the right side is 8 which is greater than 5. We add 1 to 9 which makes it 10. This means 1 in 10 will be in the tens of thousands, therefore the digit in the tens of thousands will be 2 + 1 = 3, and all the other digits will be zeros. = 30,000

The correct answer is D (30,000).

Next: Multiply two thousand four hundred and sixty five by two hundred and thirty four. What is the answer rounded to the nearest ten thousands?
Previous: What is the place value of digit 5 in the numbers 1050067?
