Of the five answers given, the two closest numbers to 100 are 98 and 103. Since 98 is 2 units away from 10() and 103 is 3 units away from 100, then 98 is closest to 100. c . - 95 98 100 103 107 110 bolutiOH 2 We calculate the positive difference between 100 and each of the five possible answers. The number closest to 100 on the number
