It is 2380.

Most schools wrongly teach you to always round a half up (so the answer would be 2390) but, while this is a simple rule to teach, it is not really correct. Under this rule:

  • if the following digit is 0 you don't round;
  • if the following digit is 1, 2, 3 or 4 you round down; and
  • if the following digit is 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 you round up.

As a result you are more likely to round up than round down and that introduces an upward bias into your calculations. The IEEE (Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers) standard 754 is to round 5 up or down so that the new last digit is even.

Well, honey, 2385 rounded to the nearest ten is 2390. Don't overthink it, just bump that number up if the digit to the right of the tens place is 5 or more. Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

To round 2385 to the nearest ten, we look at the digit in the tens place, which is 8. Since 8 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up. Therefore, 2385 rounded to the nearest ten is 2390.
