  • 9 is in the tens place and 9 is in the ones place
  • Since the digit in the ones place (9) is greater than or equal to 5, add 1 to the digit in the tens place (9)
  • 1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the tens place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the hundreds place (9)
  • 1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the hundreds place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the thousands place (9)
  • 1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the thousands place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the ten thousands place (9)
  • 1 + 9 = 10, so the digit in the ten thousands place becomes 0, and 1 is added to the digit in the hundred thousands place (0)
  • 1 + 0 = 1, so the digit in the hundred thousands place becomes 1
  • 0 replaces the (9) in the ones place
  • 99,999 rounded to the nearest ten = 100,000
