So the method is clearly stating that we need to round to the nearest ten, so let's round using the rule set.

  • If the number is below 5, round down.
  • If the number is 5, round up.
  • If the number is above 5, also round up.

This array should help you vision the sequence better.

Now, using the rounding ruleset, we have to find what to round to. Since 32 and 12 both have a ones digit below 5, we round down, meaning we now have 30 and 10. The last step is to multiply 30 by 10 to get your estimate.
