1. The problem asks for the smallest whole number that rounds to 800 when rounded to the nearest 100. 2. When rounding to the nearest 100, numbers from 750 to 849 round to 800 because: - Numbers 750 and above round up to 800. - Numbers less than 750 round down to 700. 3. Therefore, the smallest whole number that rounds to 800 is 750. 4. To verify, rounding 750 to the nearest 100: $$\text{round}(750) = 800$$ Final answer: 750
