Andrea's family stopped at the gas station to get gas. The price of gas per gallon is given to the nearest thousandth. Andrea's dad asked her to round the price of gas per gallon to the nearest hundredth. The gas price per gallon rounded to the nearest hundredth was $2.50.

Which of the following prices could have been the original gas price?

One hundredth is 0.01. If a number is above 4 it is rounded up. If it is below five, it is rounded down. 3 is rounded down to $2.49. 8 is rounded up to give $2.50. 5 is rounded up to give $2.51. 9 is rounded up to give $2.51. The answer is $2.498.

The original gas price could be any value between $2.495 and $2.505. Therefore, $2.498 and $2.49 fit this criteria, while prices like $2.48, $2.47, and $2.46 do not. Only values within the specified range can round to $2.50.
