Answer 2

`20,000`

Explanation:

`21,000` is closer to `20,000` than it is to `21,000`.

Here's how you can round numbers:

`color(red)(2)color(green)(1),000` to the nearest ten thousand.

We care about the `color(red)("ten-thousands place")`.

We will look one digit to the right of the place we care about, the `color(green)("thousands place")`.

The number in the thousands place, `1`, is less than `5`. That means that we should round the number down to the next-lowest "ten thousand," which is `20,000`.
