good job you were right heres why if you want to know 

Based on the range of prices of the pieces of furniture, Seth can make the best estimate by rounding to the nearest hundred.

If he rounds the prices of the items down, he will not save enough money to purchase all of them.

Therefore, Seth can round the prices of the pieces of furniture he wants to buy up to the nearest hundred dollars, and then add the rounded prices to determine the amount of money he needs to save.
