                        132 estimated to the nearest ten= 130.                                                                     ROMAN NUMERALS  One of the early systems of writing numerals is the system of Roman numerals.
                              Hence, the required estimation= (270 + 130) = 400.
                                                                                                                                   There are seven basic symbols to write any numeral.
        EXAMPLE 6: Estimate the sum (2 7 4 + 143) to the nearest hundred.                                                          These symbols are given below.


        SOLUTION:  274 estimated to the nearest hundred= 300.
                        143 estimated to the nearest hundred = 100.                                                                             Roman numeral             I       V        X        L       C       D         M
                              Hence, the required estimation= (300 + 100) = 400.
                                                                                                                                           Hindu - Arabic numeral         1        5       10      50      100     500       1000
        EXAMPLE 7: Estimate the sum (21397 + 2 7807 + 42505) to the nearest thousand.
                                                                                                                                   If a bar is placed over a numeral, it is multiplied by 1000.

        SOLUTION:  21397 estimated to the nearest thousand = 21000.                                                                Thus, V = 5000 and × = 10000, etc.
                        27807 estimated to the nearest thousand = 28000.                                                           Using these symbols, we may form all Roman numerals by adopting the rules given below.
                        42505 estimated to the nearest thousand = 43000
                              Hence, the required estimation= (21000 + 28000 + 43000) = 92000                                      RULE 1 Repetition of a symbol in a Roman numeral means addition.


        EXAMPLE 8: Estimate the difference (673 - 258) to the nearest hundred.                                                     CAUTIONS  (i) Only I, X, C, M can be repeated.
                                                                                                                                                 (ii) V. L and D are never repeated.
        SOLUTION:  673 estimated to the nearest hundred = 700.                                                                                   (iii) No symbol in a Roman numeral can be repeated more than 3 times.
                        258 estimated to the nearest hundred = 300.
                              Hence, the required estimation= (700 -300) = 400.
