If you are rounding a 4 digit number to 3 significant figures, then you're rounding to the nearest ten. The 4th digit is 7, so since this digit is >= 5, you should round up the 3rd digit. 1467 becomes 1470. In scientific notation you would express this as 1.47 x 103 to make it clear that there are only 3 significant figures.
