When rounding a number to the nearest ten, we look at the digit in the ones place. In this case, the ones digit in 25 is 5. Since 5 is greater than or equal to 5, we round up to the nearest ten, which is 30. Rounding to 20 would be incorrect in this case because 5 is closer to 30 than it is to 20.

25 is rounded to 30.

The next digit at the right of 2 is 5 so add one to 5.

If the next digit at the right of 5 is more than 5, add one also.

If the next digit at the right of 5 is less than 5, retain 5.

25 is rounded to 20 or 30 since as average it can either subtract or add the same number: 5. To subtract 25 by 5 has 25 - 5 = 20 while add 25 by 5 has 25 + 30.
