Imagine a big
party at your home. If you ask your father about the number of guests
who will attend the party, it will be very difficult for him to tell you
the exact number of guests. He may give you a rough estimate. If he has
sent invitations for 282 persons, then he may say that around 300
persons will attend the party.

where it is sufficient to tell the estimated figure instead of telling
the exact one. So, we must know how to estimate or round off a number.
