The population of a town was 78787 in the year 1991 and 95833 in the year 2001. Estimate the increase in population by rounding off each population to nearest hundreds.

Population of town in 1991 = 78787


Rounding off to nearest hundred = 78800


Population of town in 2001 = 95833


Rounding off to nearest 100 = 95800


Hence, increase in population by rounding off each population to nearest hundreds = 95800 - 78800 = 17000
