To round a number to a particular digit, look at the digit immediately to the right of your target. If that digit is 4 or lower, zero it and everything to the right of it out. If that digit is 5 or higher, increase the target digit by one and zero everything to the right of it out. If your target digit is a 9, increasing it will turn it to zero and increase the digit to the left of it by one.
100 is already rounded to one significant figure.
To express 273 to one significant figure, you round it to the nearest ten. The first significant figure is 2, and since the digit following it (7) is 5 or greater, you round up. Therefore, 273 to one significant figure is 300.
