- 8 is in the hundredths place and 9 is in the thousandths place
- Since the digit in the thousandths place (9) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the hundredths place (8)
- 1 + 8 = 9, so the digit in the hundredths place becomes 9
- The digits to the right of the hundredths place are dropped
